Land Acknowledgement:

We acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of many nations including the Missis- saugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples that is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.

African Ancestral Acknowledgement:

The City of Toronto acknowledges all Treaty peoples - including those who came here as settlers - as migrants either in this generation or in generations past - and those of us who came here involuntarily, par- ticularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. We pay tribute to those an- cestors of African origin and descent.
