Land Acknowledgement
We would like to acknowledge that the land we are presently on is the traditional territory of many nations, which has been inhabited by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. We are grateful for the opportunity to work here and we thank all the generations of people who have taken care of this land.
We acknowledge that we are situated on the traditional land of the Anishinaabe and the Huron-Wendat peoples. The Anishinaabe include the Ojibwe, Odawaand, and Potawatomi nations, collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy. We also acknowledge that Bradford West Gwillimbury is covered by Treaty 18.
We are dedicated to honouring Indigenous history and culture and committed to moving forward in the spirit of reconciliation and respect with all First Nation, Métis, and Inuit people.
