Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

The faculty members who are part of the CHBE are committed to the principles of social justice, and to the well-being of the communities in which we live. To that end, we have engaged extensively in community-based research, community service, and policy consultation. We have thus established a number of key links with local, national and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as municipal, provincial and federal policy-makers and practitioners.

“As a steadfast advocate for the LGBTQ2 community, we are committed to elevating the diversity of families across Canada and are proud to partner with the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism to enrich society and provide hope and support for the inclusion of all. Led by Dr. Barbara Perry, a long-time PFLAG Durham Region volunteer and global pioneer for the advancement of equality, the CHBE provides a forum for protecting the rights of children, youth and adults worldwide who are at risk of experiencing prejudice, discrimination, bullying and violence.”
