We would like to acknowledge that Stratford is on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Neutral (Attawandaron) peoples.

This treaty land is rich in Indigenous history and remains home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples today.

We are grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and play on this land.
