Our Place Peel recognizes that its work and the work of its community partners take place on traditional Indigenous territories across the province. Our Place Peel operates, gathers and is located within the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We also acknowledge the Traditional Territory of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have been and continue to be stewards of this land and their presence continues to live here. We thank the many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis people for sharing this land with us and are grateful for the opportunity to work on this land.
