We acknowledge that Milton, Ontario, is situated on the traditional territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, part of the Anishinaabe Nation. This land has been the site of human activity for over 15,000 years and is the home to many Indigenous peoples who have lived and thrived here, including the Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat peoples.

We recognize and deeply respect the longstanding relationship that Indigenous Nations have with this land. We commit to learning about and honouring the rich cultural heritage and history of all Indigenous communities, past and present.

We also acknowledge our responsibility to understand the ongoing impacts of colonisation and to support efforts towards reconciliation and decolonization.
