Land Acknowledgement

It is important to begin each public gathering with a Land and Territorial Acknowledgement, to recognize the Indigenous people for being good stewards of the land and environment, here where we are meeting today. The Township of Brock has traditionally been a hunting and fishing ground for First Nations people. We reside on and benefit from the Williams Treaty Territories, on the land of the Mississaugas and Chippewas. May we share the land as long as the sun rises, the grass grows and river flows.

  WHEREAS November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month; and 

  WHEREAS Gender-based violence is a human right issue which our community must work together to address, prevent and address through public awareness and education; and 

  WHEREAS 1 in 3 women will experience gender-based violence in their  lifetime and these numbers increase exponentially for Black, Indigenous and  Woman of Colour; and

  WHEREAS on November 25th, The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, a Wrapped in Courage 2021 Campaign flag will be raised in recognition that the courage of a woman alone is not enough, it takes an entire community to end gender-based violence; and

  Now, therefore, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Brock proclaim and declare that November 25th, 2021 shall be known as “The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women” and urge all citizens to recognize this day by taking action to support survivors of gender-based violence and becoming part of Ontario wide efforts to end gender-based violence.
