Acknowledgement of Traditional Lands
Centennial is proud to be a part of a rich history of education in this province and in this city. We
acknowledge that we are on the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation
and pay tribute to their legacy and the legacy of all First Peoples of Canada, as we strengthen ties with
the communities we serve and build the future through learning and through our graduates. Today the
traditional meeting place of Toronto is still home to many Indigenous People from across Turtle Island and
we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the communities that have grown in the treaty lands of
the Mississaugas. We acknowledge that we are all treaty people and accept our responsibility to honor all
our relations.
