We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the First Nations whose rich history and traditions continue to shape this land. As we gather on the sacred territory of Treaties 14 and 22, we honor the stewardship of the Mississaugas of the Credit and all Indigenous peoples. We thank Mother Earth for her life-giving waters, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the enduring spirit of all living beings. May we always walk in solidarity, respect, and harmony with the legacy of those who have cared for this land for generations
