The land we operate on is 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 Indigenous Peoples. We acknowledge the cultural injustices carried out against Indigenous Peoples in Canada, and we recognize that this land acknowledgement is only one step on the part to truth and reconciliation. We aspire to be good guests and respectful settlers in T'karonto, and we offer our respect to this land and its original inhabitants.
