Territorial Acknowledgement

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather today is the lands traditionally used by the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Chonnonton People. We also acknowledge the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge, laws and philosophies of the Indigenous Peoples with whom we share this land today. We are all treaty people with a responsibility to honour all our relations. Learn more about the Territorial Acknowledgement.
