Ontario Tech University acknowledges the lands and people of the Mississaugas of Scugog
Island First Nation. 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.

6 2021-2022 College-to-University Transfer Programs
Attending Ontario Tech as a
college-to-university transfer student was
one of the most rewarding experiences of
my life thus far. During my studies, I met
amazing professors, advisors and students
who were a joy to be around, and I genuinely
enjoyed each day on campus. I applied
to Forensic Psychology with the goal of
becoming a police officer. However, my
experiences have been so meaningful and
profound that I ended up applying—and
being accepted—to Western University’s
medical school as a master’s student, to
work towards my PhD in Neuroscience.

Receiving my scholarship has helped me immensely. I don’t have to stress over my tuition fees
as a lot of it is now covered. This allows me to allocate more of my time towards things I love
such as my academics, extracurricular activities and getting involved in my community. I’m very
thankful for this scholarship and to the university for recognizing me!
