World Event Center acknowledges…
the land we stand on is in the traditional territories of
- the Mississaugas of the Credit
- the Anishinabewaki
- the Haudenosaunee and
- the Mississauga peoples
that are governed by the Williams Treaty of 1923.
We also acknowledge the hard work and sacrifices of those brought here against their will, as a result of the transatlantic slave trade.
We are dedicated to…
- celebrating the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th
- reading this land acknowledgement at the beginning of our events
- pronouncing the words correctly (see below)
- learning more about Canada’s untold history
- considering what actions we can take, and
- leading with integrity
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”
~George Santayana
