We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

About the Donor	Bruce MacMillan (1945-2004) was born in Toronto, the son of George and Gladys MacMillan who founded one of Toronto’s first health food stores. Bruce was always motivated by public service in his career in government and commerce. He and his wife, Janice, founded Canada FIRST, a non-profit organization to encourage young Canadians, especially young women, to develop an interest in careers in math, science and technology. Guided by school and industry mentors, Canada FIRST high school students designed and built robots to compete in annual robotic games with other schools. More than 11,000 students, teachers, volunteers, sponsors and supporters participated in Canada First over its ten-year span. Many of the students went on to enter careers in science, technological and other fields with the inspiration they had gained from Bruce and his vision.
