The Township of Adjala-Tosorontio is situated on the lands within Treaty 18 being the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg peoples, including the Ojibwe, Odawa and Pottawatomi Nations, collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy. This land is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples.

We acknowledge Indigenous Peoples as stewards of the land and we honour their resilience as well as their culture, and of our shared respect for the lands, plants, animals and waterways, which sustains us all.

We recognize the injustices against Indigenous Peoples and are mindful that the decisions of government impact our shared land and all the inhabitants.

We commit to reconciliation as a journey, foster Indigenous cultural awareness and educational opportunities; establish respectful and healthy relations with Indigenous Peoples; continue to steward the land and its inhabitants; and to cultivate an inclusive community for all.
