Position of Privilege and Acknowledgement of Colonial Impact

At Catalyst Haven, we acknowledge the position of privilege from which we operate, understanding that systemic inequities and colonial legacies have shaped the realities of marginalized communities, particularly in substance use and mental health. We recognize the disproportionate harms faced by Indigenous peoples, racialized communities, and other historically oppressed groups due to the ongoing impacts of colonialism, systemic racism, and inequitable access to resources and support systems.

As a digital communications organization, we are committed to amplifying voices that have been silenced, supporting decolonization efforts, and fostering equity in all aspects of our work. We actively strive to unlearn biases, confront privilege, and collaborate with communities to create meaningful and inclusive change.

We honour the traditional territories on which we live and work, and we express deep gratitude to the Indigenous stewards of these lands, past, present, and future. At Catalyst Haven, we believe that acknowledging these truths is a critical step toward reconciliation and justice, and we are dedicated to using our platform to support this journey.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to practicing allyship, accountability, and creating equitable and just digital spaces for all.
