[0:00] Good evening. Welcome to the Committee
of Adjustments on April 17th at 6:30 in
[0:04] the evening.
Before we start, I'll read the land
[0:07] acknowledgement statement. The town of
Innisfil acknowledges that Innisfil is
[0:10] situated on the treaty land that is
steeped in rich indigenous history.
[0:14] The town also also acknowledges that
this land is the traditional territories
[0:18] of the First Peoples of Turtle Island.
It is shared between the Anishinaabe
[0:23] Peoples of Beausoleil
First Nation, Chippewas of Rama First
[0:27] Nation, Chippewas of Georgina Island
First Nation, and we thank them for the
[0:32] generations generations of stewardship.
This meeting place is still the home to
[0:37] many indigenous people, and we are
grateful to have the opportunity to work
[0:40] on this land. The town acknowledges that
the forced sacrifices that are the
[0:44] foundation of the Canadian society
today. Excuse me.
[0:48] We are dedicated to honoring indigenous
history and culture and committed to
[0:51] moving forward in the spirit of
reconciliation and respect with all
[0:55] First Nations, Métis, and Inuit.
Okay.

minutes of March 20th? Bill? Second it?
[1:04] Marnie? All in favor? It's moved. Thank
you. Does anybody have any conflict of
