REPRESENTATION
We acknowledge that we live, work, and learn on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. This land was acquired unfairly, and as settlers on this land it is part of our collective responsibility to recognize and mitigate the oppression of Indigenous peoples.
