About The Event

Our annual fundraising event, 5K Walk to Remember, is back and is taking place on Saturday, September 30 at Lakeside Park in Mississauga (2268 Lakeshore Road West) in partnership with BFO Toronto. 

Do you have family and friends who are participating and raising money, and you want to join them but don't wish to fundraise? Register here so we know to expect you on September 30! RSVP'ing is helpful for us when planning this event. Note: if you have already registered as a team or participant there is no need to RSVP again here. 

This is a rain or shine, and dog-friendly event where a 5km route will be mapped out. We will be gathering as a community to honour our loved ones who passed away. You can wear something to commemorate them, or since our Walk to Remember is taking place on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation this year, you may choose to wear an orange shirt to honour the Indigenous children that were forced to attend residential schools, and to honour their families and communities.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We want to acknowledge the land on which we gather, and where the Centre for Grief and Healing (BFO-H/P) operates. This land has been and is still inhabited by many Indigenous Peoples since the last Ice Age which was 13,000 years ago. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek-Ojibway/Chippewa, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The land that is home to the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people. We are grateful to now be on the land that is the land of Indigenous Peoples since time began.

The land we are presently on is under the stewardship of the Mississaugas of the Credit, who are the signatories of the treaty and holders of the area. We recognize that the land we are on was taken away through colonization, oppression, and expropriation. In the hopes for a better future and building relationships, we recognize, require, and honour what is in the truth and reconciliation report and the calls to action. We acknowledge and are grateful for having the privilege of being where we are, for this land, and for the Indigenous Peoples who have and continue to inhabit this land.

 

This Land Acknowledgment was created in collaboration with Indigenous Elder, Cat Criger.
