3:56to live and work here in Guelph,

3:57a city that's built over rich indigenous histories.

4:00We're guests here and we should reflect upon the responsibility

4:03to care for this land,

4:04the people who live here today and the generations to come.

4:07If our actions today can move us towards reconciliation,

4:10we should take pause and make those decisions

4:12with intention and gratitude.

4:15This place we call Guelph has served as traditional lands

4:17in a place of refuge for many peoples over time,

4:20but more specifically, the Aniwannarok

4:22and the Honehoshone.

4:24This land is held as the treaty lands and territory

4:27with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

4:30Now Guelph lies directly adjacent to the Haldemund Tract

4:33and is part of a long established traditional hunting grounds

4:35for the six nations of the Grand River.

4:40who have come from across Turtle Island

4:42called Guelph home today.

4:44Okay, with that everybody, just right off the top,

4:48I am looking for any disclosure of pecuniary interest

4:51or any general nature thereof.

4:54Not hearing, not seeing anybody jump up and down

4:56for that one, so that one's done.
