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.

Are you up for a challenge? Ontario Tech University’s Chancellor Mitch Frazer invites all alumni back to campus for the 2022 Chancellor’s Challenge, a five-kilometre run or walk to raise funds for student bursaries and scholarships. As a champion of students and STEM education, Chancellor Mitch Frazer has created the Chancellors Fund with a $1 million goal. Supporting this goal, this year's Chancellor's Challenge will connect faculty, staff, alumni, students and the community in having fun while helping deserving students.

Keep the fun going and show your Ridgeback spirit by heading across campus to Vaso's Field after the Challenge. Cheer on the Ontario Tech Women's Varsity Soccer Team as they take on the Ottawa Gee-Gee's at 1 p.m. Food concessions are open and a BBQ will be available starting at noon.
