MAMC acknowledges that we are on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We honour their histories, traditions and continuous living cultures, and commit to accountability, respectful relations and friendship. 

MAMC invites everyone to participate in our projects in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect. 

MAMC is thankful for the opportunity to work with all communities in the spirit of inclusivity, reciprocity and collaboration.
