                            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.

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.
