Land Acknowledgement Statement
Honouring the Land and Our Shared History
As we work together to build a stronger, more inclusive community in Ward 10, Spadina-Fort York, we must recognize and honour the deep history of the land on which we gather, live, and work.
We acknowledge that the land we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg (ah-nish-naw-bek), the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee (hoodt-en-oh-show-nee), and the Wendat peoples. Today, this land is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis (may-tee) peoples.
We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Why This Matters
A land acknowledgement is a small but vital step in the process of Truth and Reconciliation. For time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have acknowledged the land at the start of gatherings. By continuing this practice, we participate in an act of reconciliation that honours an Indigenous presence dating back over 10,000 years.
In Ward 10—home to the heritage grounds of Old Fort York and our vibrant waterfront—we are constantly reminded of our history. This acknowledgement invites us to reflect on the past and consider the meaningful actions we can take moving forward. It serves as a daily reminder that we are all accountable to these relationships and to the enduring resilience of Indigenous peoples in our city.
We thank our Indigenous friends for founding and creating this land, and we owe them a debt of gratitude in perpetuity. We have much to do to repair relations with them, and I am committed to doing so, and to continue to learn from them.
