Rise up Kids acknowledge the land on which we gather, and which the Region of Peel and City of Brampton operate, is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississauga of the Credit.

For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples inhabited and cared for this land and continue to do so today. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississauga of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississauga’s of the Credit.

We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land, and by doing so, give our respect to its first inhabitants.
