Land Acknowledgement
As an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory we reside on. and to honour the Indigenous people who have lived here from time immemorial, we acknowledge that Lansdowne Children's Centre is on traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishnawbe and Haudenosaunee peoples, located on the Haldimand Tract, six miles either side of the Grand River along its length as given to the Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississaugas of the Credit.
