WtC is located on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. It continues to be home of many diverse, Indigenous Peoples. We also are within Treaty 13, which was signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.

We acknowledge and understand the longstanding history that has brought us to reside on this land today. We take responsibility for our role and look to Indigenous leaders for guidance on the teachings that will allow us to become stewards of this land and live in harmony with nature. We affirm our commitment in playing an active role in dismantling the systems that continue to oppress Indigenous
