2. LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
2
Let us take a moment to acknowledge we are on lands that have been, and continue to be, home to many
Indigenous Peoples including the Anishnabeg, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat peoples.
We are all Treaty people. Many of us have come here as settlers, as immigrants or involuntarily as part of the
trans-Atlantic slave trade, in this generation, or generations past.
We acknowledge the historic and continued impacts of colonization and the need to work towards meaningful
reconciliation with the original caretakers of this land.
We acknowledge that Metrolinx operates on territories and lands covered by many treaties that affirm and value
the rights of Indigenous communities, Nations and Peoples.
We understand the importance of working towards reconciliation with the original caretakers of this land. At
Metrolinx, we will conduct business in a manner that is built on a foundation of trust, respect and collaboration.
