I live in the city of Toronto, originally known as Tkaronto, on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee, the Wendat, Anishinaabe, and the Mississauga of the Credit, the first peoples of this land, and in the watershed of Mimico Creek and the Humber River. I acknowledge that I am a party to Treaty 13 and commit to working for justice and reconciliation with the Indigenous nations of this land.
