Diversity and Inclusion

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather is situated within the traditional and treaty territory of the Mississaugas. More specifically, the Mississauga’s of Scugog Island First Nation, signatories of the Gunshot Treaty of 1788 and the Williams Treaties of 1923. This land is, and will continue to be, home to the Indigenous Peoples. Let us acknowledge the mistakes and traumas of the past through authenticity and support truth and reconciliation. Let us engage and celebrate Indigenous communities by being leaders of action in acknowledging the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s recommendations towards truth and reconciliation. Let us keep these principles close, as we continue towards truth and reconciliation and as we move forward with kindness and respect as a community. 

Diversity and Inclusion

At the Town, diversity is our strength. We have the fastest growing diverse population and value the many contributions of our community. We are committed to respect, inclusion, diversity, equity and have zero tolerance for all acts of discrimination and hate. We strive to continually lead with these values and beliefs that enable our community to develop their potential, bring their full self to work and engage in a place of understanding, learning and inclusivity.
