Land Acknowledgement

We would like to start by acknowledging that we are on the

traditional territories of the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the

Anishinaabe peoples, whose presence here continues to this day.

We would also like to acknowledge the land we are on is at the

meeting place of two treaties, the lands of the Mississaugas of the

Credit and those of the First Nations of the Williams Treaty. We

would to thank them and other Indigenous peoples for sharing this

land with us. We would also like to acknowledge the Chippewas of

Georgina Island First Nation as our closest Indigenous community

and our partners in education.
