A Few Words From Your Host


​During my recent municipal campaign, I stated that I would like to continue with community engagement, to have discussions about issues of the day and any matters of concern to constituents. These townhalls are one of my efforts to reach out to as many as people as possible. Community engagement is important to demonstrate to everyone the relevance of municipal government in our lives and, hopefully, through a more engaged process, we can heighten the awareness of voters about the importance of good municipal government and encourage better participation, both in between and during elections.

​Land Acknowledgement


Much of Waterloo Region is located near the Grand River on traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Neutral peoples, who have lived in this region for thousands of years. Their cultures, traditions, and forms of governance have had a profound impact on the development of modern democracy and continue to influence our understanding of governance and relationships between nations. These have been incorporated into modern democratic systems in a variety of ways, such as through the use of participatory budgeting 
and community meetings. Additionally, the idea of the "social contract" that forms the basis of modern democracies can be traced back to Indigenous concepts of reciprocal obligation and the responsibilities of individuals and communities to one another. Indigenous forms of governance often place a strong emphasis on preserving the environment and balancing economic, social, and spiritual values. This perspective has informed modern ideas of sustainable development and the integration of environmental and social considerations into political decision-making.
​
We are grateful for the opportunity to gather on this land and acknowledge the rich cultural heritage and deep connections of Indigenous peoples to this region. We recognize the ongoing struggles and challenges faced by Indigenous communities and affirm our commitment to reconciliation and working together towards a more just and equitable future.
