We acknowledge that our Special Olympics Ontario community is located on/in the traditional territory of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We also acknowledge that Mississauga resides within Treaty 13A, also known as the Head of the Lake Purchase (1805).Â
Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work, live and play on this land.
