We humbly recognize that the land now called Toronto is the traditional territory of many Indigenous nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. This land continues to be home to diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, whose presence and contributions are vital to our shared community. As we walk these urban paths, we honour the relationship between Indigenous peoples and these lands, and strive to uphold our responsibilities as treaty people. As we explore the potential of Toronto's laneways, we're reminded of the ancient pathways created by Indigenous peoples, connecting communities long before our city existed. Recognizing that our modern urban passages echo the vital connections forged by those who came before us.
