York Region is situated on the traditional territories of the Chippewas of Georgina Island, the Huron-Wendat Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. These Nations have been stewards of this land for countless generations.

We honour their enduring connection to the land, water, and community, and we express our gratitude for the opportunity to gather, learn, and celebrate upon these lands. May we continue to uphold the values of respect, reciprocity, and reconciliation as we share this space together.
