In honour of our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation and to pave a new path built on peace and friendship, the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, Waterloo Region acknowledges that our local is situated on the Haldimand Tract.

This territory was promised to the Six Nations by way of the Haldimand Treaty of 1784, and is also the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Neutral Peoples. Today, it continues to be home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful for the use of the land so we may continue our work today.
