Land Acknowledgement

K-W Seniors Day Program acknowledges the truth that we are situated on the Haldimand Tract, which is the land of Haudenosaunee and Mississauga Anishinaabe nations, and the traditional territory of the Chinonton Peoples, a people entirely eliminated by the colonisation of this land.

The land on which we meet, live, love, and work is land that was originally shared with open arms by the Indigenous peoples who have always called this place home with the settlers of this region. We recognize that our presence here has disrupted thousands of years of culture and belonging. The very land upon which K-W Seniors Day Progra space exists is at the edge of a great wetland that served as a hunting ground and overwintering space, and is no more than a short distance from villages, feast and ceremony grounds, and settlements.

This territorial acknowledgement alone cannot accomplish justice and we are committed to working towards reconciliation and ensuring that our programs, services, and practices are culturally relevant and accessible to Indigenous peoples in our community.

As citizens, we have a responsibility for the stewardship of this land. We invite you to join in consideration of our collective role in the stewardship of Mother Earth and in the important process of reconciliation
