Land Acknowledgment

We believe that acknowledging territory shows recognition of and respect for Indigenous Peoples, both in the past and the present. The land on which the library is situated is the traditional territory of the Mississauga Nation. We believe that recognition and respect are essential elements of establishing healthy, reciprocal relations and are key to reconciliation.
