Land Acknowledgement

With gratitude, the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands acknowledges these lands and waters are the traditional territory of the Algonquin, Mississaugas, Mohawk (Kanyen’keha:ka), and Huron-Wendat. To recognize the role the Township must play in Truth and Reconciliation, we also acknowledge the displacement of these Peoples.

Additionally, the Township would like to respectfully acknowledge the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples who also call this place home. We make this land acknowledgement to honour the Indigenous ancestors who have stewarded these lands and waters since time immemorial.
