Organizer

Township of Centre Wellington

The Township of Centre Wellington is committed to fostering meaningful relationships with Indigenous peoples and advancing Truth and Reconciliation through ongoing learning, accountability, and respectful engagement. Our work is guided by several core commitments: Truth, Learning, Accountability, Respectful Representation, Relationship-Building, and Future Generations.

We acknowledge Indigenous histories, treaty relationships, colonial harms, and the ongoing presence and rights of Indigenous peoples. Throughout the year, the Township works to create opportunities for staff, residents, and community partners to deepen their understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, representation, and reconciliation through education, dialogue, and community engagement initiatives.

The Township is also committed to reviewing municipal practices, policies, facilities, communications, and public spaces with care and responsibility to ensure they reflect inclusion, respect, and accountability. We strive to ensure that Indigenous names, images, teachings, histories, and symbols are represented with context, accuracy, permission, and relationship.

Relationship-building is central to our approach. We continue to engage with Indigenous communities and partners in ways that are respectful, meaningful, and ongoing, recognizing that reconciliation is a continuous journey rather than a single event. We also make decisions with consideration for future generations and the stories, spaces, and relationships they will inherit within Centre Wellington.
