Council approves Indigenous treaty acknowledgement – Mountain View Today
Council approves motion to read land acknowledgement statement for First Nations and Metis citizens at start of ever Monday meeting
INNISFAIL – The town will now read a treaty acknowledgement statement to honour the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples at the beginning of every Monday council meeting.
Innisfail council’s land acknowledgement approval, which came at its regular meeting on Feb. 14, is the first of its kind for any municipality in the region, including the rural municipalities of Red Deer County and Mountain View County.
The board of trustees for Chinook’s Edge School Division and Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools have land acknowledgement statements that are read at the beginning of their meetings.
