Before I begin, I'll state the Township land acknowledgement.
The Township of Adjala-Tosorontio is situated on the lands within Treaty 18,
being the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe peoples, including
the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi Nations, collectively known
as the Three Fires Confederacy. This land is home to many diverse First
Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. We acknowledge Indigenous peoples as
stewards of the land, and we honor their resilience, as well as their culture,
and our shared respect for the lands, plants, animals, and waterways which
sustains us all. We recognize the injustices against
Indigenous peoples, and are mindful that we all Sorry,
mindful that the decisions of government impact our shared land and all the
inhabitants. We commit to reconciliation as a journey
to foster Indigenous cultural awareness and educational opportunities,
establish respectful and healthy relations with Indigenous peoples,
continue to steward the land and its inhabitants, and to cultivate inclusive
community for all.
Our next item on the agenda is closed session.
Um there is one matter to go into in camera for this evening, which is the
Farsight Framework Agreement, and we have our
legal team here to provide any uh solicitor-client privilege information
to us. So, the recommendation is that pursuant
to section 239 (2) of the Municipal Act, 2001, Council of the Township of
Adjala-Tosorontio convene a closed session at 5:35 p.m. to address the
following item: confidential verbal update from Isaac Tang, BLG, advised
that it is subject to solicitor client privilege, including communications
necessary for that purposes with regards to the Fireside Framework
Agreement. Do I have a mover to go in camera?
Councilor Cox, a seconder, please. Councilor Simpson.
Any questions on the recommendation? And all those in favor.
And that is carried.
All right, Council. So, uh we've just ended our closed session, so
I have a motion to reconvene in to open session. So, the recommendation is that
Council of the Township of Adjala-Tosorontio reconvene in open
session at 6:01 p.m. Mover for that recommendation, please.
Councilor Cox, seconded by Councilor Borrows.
All those in favor. And that is carried. And just to note,
there is no uh there's no direction to come out of in camera. It was a
information update from our lawyer. All right, so it is now 6:01 p.m. I'm
going to look to uh recess the meeting, and we will uh be back at 6:30 p.m.
