Land Acknowledgement
Community Care City of Kawartha Lakes acknowledges that it operates on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe people. Part of Treaty #20, covered by the Williams Treaty, these lands are known today as Kawartha Lakes. The word “Kawartha” in Wyandot or Anishinaabe roughly translates to “shining waters and happy lands”.
As an organization we have much to learn and grow in our understanding of Indigenous peoples, their histories, culture, and ongoing hardships. We recognize that a land acknowledgement itself is only a small step towards addressing the deep-rooted issues faced by Indigenous peoples and communities.
We further recognize the contributions of all First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, both in shaping and strengthening the community and have a reaffirmed commitment to listening, learning, and taking meaningful actions to ensure our services are safe, culturally appropriate, and inclusive.
