1. Call to Order
2. Land Acknowledgement
The Town of Aurora acknowledges that the Anishinaabe lands on which we live
and work are the traditional and Treaty #20 territories of the Chippewas of
Georgina Island, as well as many other Nations whose presence here continues to
this day. As the closest First Nation community to Aurora, we recognize the special
relationship the Chippewas have with the lands and waters of this territory. They
are the water protectors and environmental stewards of these lands, and as a
municipality we join them in these responsibilities.
We further acknowledge that Aurora is part of the treaty lands of the Mississaugas
2
and Chippewas, recognized through Treaty #13 as well as the Williams Treaties of
1923.
A shared understanding of the rich cultural heritage that has existed for centuries,
and how our collective past brought us to where we are today, will help us walk
together into a better future.
