INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We begin today by acknowledging that we walk upon the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples and we recognize their history, spirituality, culture, and stewardship of the land. We are grateful to all Indigenous groups for their commitment to protect the land and its resources and we are committed to reconciliation, partnership and enhanced understanding.
Mayor Frank Scarpitti expressed his condolences to those impacted by COVID-19, and the unfortunate death of a Markham resident. He also expressed gratitude to everyone in the community who has continued to provide support and service during this time.
