ANNOUNCEMENTS: November 2, 2026 - Monday
We begin this gathering by acknowledging the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dish with One Spoon Wampum is a formal peace agreement between the Anishinaabe Three Fires Confederacy (Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations) and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy that extends to all those who arrived in the area around the Great Lakes region and along the St. Lawrence River. Included in our Land Acknowledgement, it is represented by a single dish and spoon to remind us that we all share the same land and resources. Honouring this treaty means upholding our shared responsibility to take only what we need, keep the dish clean by protecting our environment, and ensure peace, respect, and abundance for future generations.
