About Us
BIPOC of Publishing in Canada is a non-profit collective for Black, Indigenous, and people of colour currently working in the Canadian book publishing industry.
As an organization dedicated to providing a safe space for BIPOC, we can’t do this work without acknowledging the fact that we are settlers on stolen land. We work and live in the region of Peel, which is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Indigenous peoples have inhabited and cared for this land for thousands of years, and continue to do so today. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
We give our respects to the first inhabitants and rightful owners of this land.
