1. Call to Order:
Councillor Schell (Chair) assumed the Chair at the above noted time and called the
meeting to order followed by the reading of the Land Acknowledgement.
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 acknowledging the Truth so that we can
move forward together towards Reconciliation.
