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.

PRAISE Program

back

The Peers Recognizing Achievements in Standout Employees (PRAISE) program provides the opportunity to informally recognize the accomplishments of our employees in real time.

Do you know someone who has gone above and beyond the basic expectations of their job?
Have you worked with a colleague who brings our mission, vision, values and priorities to life?
Would you like to highlight a job well done?

Complete the Peers Recognizing Achievements In Standout Employees (PRAISE) Program Recognition Form and the exceptional work of your peers will be highlighted below and on the Human Resources website home page.

All recipients of a PRAISE will be acknowledged in the university's Weekly Report quarterly, and their names will be entered in a quarterly draw for a $100 gift card.
