We begin our meeting by recognizing the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples of Canada as traditional stewards and caretakers of the land. We acknowledge that the Town of Wasaga Beach is located within the boundaries of Treaty 18, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Tionontati, Wendat, and is the home of many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples as part of an intricate nationhood that reaches across Turtle Island. At this time of truth and reconciliation, we welcome the opportunity to work together towards new understandings and new relationships and ask for guidance in all we do.
