Ontario Tech acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.

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

 Steve Rose, former Associate Dean, Faculty of Business and Information Technology, knows how difficult it is to fund a university education. “General Motors and its supply base in Canada wanted to help young people receive the education they need. Supporting students is more than worthwhile; they are the future of our industry and region.” He anticipates an increase in Ontario Tech University’s brand recognition, as well as its reputation for high-quality graduates, faculty, research and programs – all of which will have a positive impact on the community. The university will grow, as will its need for funds for students and research.
