The Collingwood Climate Action Team is based on the traditional territory of the Haundenosaunee and Anishinabek peoples and, specifically, unceded Saugeen Ojibway territory. Our ancestors established a treaty relationship and responsibility with the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and Saugeen First Nation, collectively the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) - which we strive to uphold today. We are thankful for the opportunity to benefit from the continuing protection and stewardship of the land, air and waters by Indigenous Peoples who have protected them for thousands of years. This area we now call home is also home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples with whom we wish to work together towards truth and reconciliation.
