Council also approved an Indigenous Land Acknowledgement, permanently flying the flag of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation at Halton Regional Centre, and supported the ongoing work of an Indigenous Advisory Group. Endorsing these actions is a step in the right direction, but we know that more work still needs to be done. I look forward to continuing these efforts together.
