1. Call to Order - Reading of Land Acknowledgement:
Mayor Greenlaw assumed the Chair at the above noted time 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 thrived for 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
