Quinte Conservation acknowledges the Indigenous Peoples of the lands where we conduct business and find ourselves on today.
The watersheds of the Quinte region are located on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinabek, Mississauga, and Huron-Wendat, and adjacent to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place, and we acknowledge our shared responsibilities and obligations to preserve and protect the land, air, and water.
We recognize the contributions of Metis, Inuit, and other Indigenous peoples in shaping and strengthening our communities, the province, and the country.
We are grateful for the privilege to meet, explore, and connect on these shared lands. In the spirit of friendship, peace, and respect, we extend our thanks to all the generations that came before us.
Let us commit to acknowledging the harms of the past and actively work toward reconciliation and collaboration in our daily lives.
