Today, on Canada Day, O Creator,
We offer You gratitude for Canada’s great beauty,
for the power and the majesty of its land and waters.
As descendants of settlers and newcomers
we recognize the Indigenous Peoples
who have long cared for these lands and waters.
Creator, we ask for your guidance
as we commit once again to truth-seeking, to self-reflection,
and to building just and mutual understanding
between ourselves and Indigenous Peoples.
