As a community of cyclists, our place here is a gift, and our shared obligation will ensure the land is left as it was when we came.
Land Acknowledgement: LapDogs Cycling Club
With this statement, we recognize, honour, celebrate, and commemorate the enduring presence of the many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples who have been caretakers of these lands and waters for many thousands of years, and who continue to remain vigilant over their health and integrity.
More important, as a cycling club and organization based in Toronto (traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples), we acknowledge the roads and trails that will host us, reside within treaty lands.
As a community of cyclists, our place here is a gift, and our shared obligation will ensure the land is left as it was when we came.
We are all Treaty People.
“It’s not just a part of who we are as Survivors – it’s a part of who we are as a nation.”
