The Mayor and Council make up the local government for the City of Peterborough. They represent the community and develop laws and policies that are implemented by the City's administration.
At the beginning of every City Council meeting, the chairperson says the following land acknowledgement statement then asks for 30 seconds of reflection on the principles in the statement:
We respectfully acknowledge that we are on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinaabeg. We offer our gratitude to the First Peoples for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings.
