1. Call to Order:
1:00 p.m.
Councillor Hutcheson, Chair, assumed the Chair and called the meeting to order.
The Township of Oro-Medonte acknowledges that we are situated on the traditional land of
the Anishnaabek (A- nish- in- aa- beh) people, and ancestral territory of the Huron-Wendat.
The Anishnaabek include the Odawa [Oh-DAH-wah], Ojibwe [0-jib-we] and Pottawatomi
[boh-tah-WAH-toh-mee] nations, collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy. It
continues today as the home for diverse Indigenous Peoples including the historic Metis
Community in Penetanguishene.
The Anishnaabek people continue to have an enduring relationship with this land, specifically
the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, the Chippewa Tri-Council and the Williams Treaties
First Nations. The Huron-Wendat Nation also continues to pay respect and protect their
ancestors and heritage on this land. We honour the Indigenous history and culture that has
thrivedfor millennia in this territory and the Treaties that bind us together as partners in the
spirit of a shared sustainable and prosperous future. We are all Treaty People. Our
commitment begins with acknowledging the Truth so that we can move forward together
towards Reconciliation.
