We open this issue, Strength in Community, with a few words from the editors. While the past two years have made significant changes to all communities, we emphasize that some challenges have always persisted but were only brought to the forefront recently for Canadians. We honour and acknowledge the voices and individuals who continue to push colonial boundaries, including through the resurgence of traditions, culture, and language. On this basis, we highlight strength in community, in its essence, as the existence, resistance, and survivance of Indigenous communities.
