With deep respect, we acknowledge the lands and interconnected waterways that bind us together, the foundation for all life. These lands serve as a keeper of history and stories and are a source of inspiration.

In recognizing this, we embrace that all living things possess an important energy and purpose. We extend the utmost gratitude to the Original Peoples, who have been caretakers of these lands and waters of this region from time immemorial, and to this day who continue this commitment.

Peterborough County’s dedication to reconciliation remains steadfast. In this spirit, we are committed to nurturing meaningful partnerships and connections that contribute to an environment of prosperity and well-being for all generations to come.

This acknowledgement is made on the Treaty 20 land and the territory of the Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg and within the traditional lands of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Nations, collectively known as the Williams Treaty First Nations. Further, our gratitude is extended to the nations of Alderville, Beausoleil, Curve Lake, Georgina Island, Hiawatha, Rama, and Scugog Island.
