The College of Dietitians of Manitoba (CDM) office is in Treaty 1 territory, on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Red River Métis. As a provincial governing body, our members live and work in the territories of Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. We respect the treaties, acknowledge the harms and colonization endured by Indigenous Peoples and are committed to working in partnership with Indigenous communities toward health equity and reconciliation.
