Thank you. I was in a band like that once. Thank you. I'd like to open the Tuesday, August 11th City Council meeting. In a few minutes we'll hear our national anthem performed by Isabella Jankowski, but first I'll turn it to Councillor Zasino for our land acknowledgement. Please stand if you're able. We acknowledge we have the privilege to live and work on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe peoples of Fort William First Nation, signatory to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850. This land has been a place of gathering, learning and sust enance for Indigenous people since time immemorial.

We acknowledge the effects of colonization, including displacement, loss of culture and intergenerational trauma. And we commit ourselves to reconciliation through respectful relationships, truth-telling and shared action for a better future. Let us pause and reflect. I welcome Isabella Jankowski to the front.

Chair, the first item is a land acknowledgement from Councillor Johnson. We acknowledge that we have the privilege to live and work on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe peoples of Fort Wayne First Nation, sign atory to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850.

We acknowledge the effects of colonization, including displacement, loss of culture, and intergenerational trauma. We commit ourselves to reconciliation through respectful relationships, truth-telling, and shared action for a better future. We are going to be able to do that. While we maintain enhanced monitoring on the situation, provide assistance to evacuee operations controlled by the province, and ensure communications to our community, the reality is that we must also continue with the routine business of the city.

Thank you. I acknowledge that these lands have been cared for since time immemorial and remain home to Indigenous people today. As someone who lives here now, I recognize that my presence and the institutions that shaped the city are part of a history that benefited from colonial policies and displaced Indigenous peoples and purposely erased their stories from public memory. Acknowledging this history is not simply a formality. It is a reminder that the prosperity that many of us enjoy today is tied to the lands and agreements that were not always honoured. I offer this acknowledgement with gratitude for the stewardship of this place by the Anishinaabe people and the commitment to learning from the past, listening in the present, and supporting a future grounded in respect, truth, and reconciliation. The purpose of land acknowledgements is that they correct the story we inherited, one that often begins with railways, settlers, and founding fathers, as if nothing exists before. The deeper history of this region stretches back thousands of years, with dense trade networks, diplomacy and governance systems , and land knowledge. In other words, Thunder Bay did not begin when the settlers arrived. It was already a busy chapter in a much older book. That shift in perspective, seeing ourselves as newcomers inside an ongoing story, rather than the authors of it, is where the real acknowledgement begins. Let us pause and reflect. Please remain standing. We have an instrumental version …

Okay and lastly for me speaker, you know the report also mentioned that it positions, this opportunity is going to position or could position Thunder Bay as a hub for major sporting events and I guess that caught my eye a bit. I'm looking to administration for essentially what what is our strategy. Are we trying to be a hub for major sporting events or are we already a hub for major sporting events? Where do we see ourselves? Are we we trying to get there? If you understand what I'm asking? Through the speaker a bit of both. Certainly we have a strong reputation for multi-s port game hosting and single sport game hosting. That is always something we are seeking to both maintain and strengthen. What these improvements will help facilitate is being able to maintain that position as standards evolve within sport sanction requirements where facilities may be falling short. In some cases we may not be able to meet the standards required for certain events. This will help make sure we can meet those standards. It will also open new opportunities where right now we we simply can't bid to host because we don't meet the requirements. Okay I appreciate the responses. Thank you very much. Thank you speaker.
