Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge The land we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations and is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Mètis peoples. We acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississauga of the Credit.

We also acknowledge all Treaty peoples - including all settlers, migrants, and those of us who came here involuntarily as a result of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. We also pay tribute to our ancestors of African origin and descent.

This personal land acknowledgement is a small act of reconciliation, honouring the land and Indigenous Heritage, which dates back over 10,000 years.
