About Us About Us About Us
1RG invites individuals, teams and organizations who value community care, creativity and innovation to work and play in a space that promotes collaboration and curiosity.
Making Space for Everyone
Our space includes members from non-profits, community organizers, freelance creatives and remote tech teams. Everyone is welcome at 1RG and we believe that the diversity of our members is what generates lasting change.
The physical space that we call 1RG is built on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. This land is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Our 1RG community is made up of settlers, immigrants and descendants of immigrants and as such, we recognize the sustained intergenerational trauma and continued colonial violence against Indigenous peoples, including food insecurity, police brutality, residential school denialism and climate change. We recognize that we have ongoing work to continue to learn about our own colonial past and unlearn racist and oppressive behaviors, and to interrupt these behaviors by others whenever and however we can.
We recognize that our efforts are imperfect, and that we participate in and benefit from the ongoing harm of colonization and are committed to an ongoing process of learning.
We offer these words in humility, and welcome feedback and critique.
