​

I ACKNOWLEDGE

​

The land I am standing on today is the traditional territory of many

First Nations Indigenous lands and was built on the Indigenous land across Turtle Island.

​

Respectfully, Durham Region forms a part of the Traditional and Treaty Territory of

The Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation,

The Mississauga Peoples and the Williams Treaty Territory of

The Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation.  

​

I recognize these lands as Ancestral and Treaty lands where I reside, learn, and earn a living.

​

I acknowledge my responsibility, and respect to honour the land and the Indigenous Heritage.

​

I stand in Allyship to those First Nations, Inuits, and the Métis

Indigenous People native to Turtle Island.
