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.

On January 26, 2018, during a Technologies of Justice Conference session entitled People and Food: Intersections of Law, Politics, Technology and Culture, Angela Lee spoke about the new frontiers of flesh food. The conference took place at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology.

Lee discussed in-vitro meat, genetically engineered (GE) animals, changes in agricultural and farming practices, and need-modified meat products. She also discusses advancements and innovations in research and technology as well as environmental and social concerns, and the role of law in remedying or alleviating these concerns in this emerging industry.
