Recognition Statement by Commissioner Barbar Ednie: I would like to acknowledge that we are meeting tonight on the unceded territory of the Mohawk people. This land and the heritage of its people are part of who we are: our past, our current and our future. We have much to learn from those whose values regarding nature reflect gratitude, sustainability and stewardship. Many of our schools have established outdoor classrooms to foster in our students a commitment to the environment and give our students opportunity to benefit and learn from nature. As a lover of the great outdoors, I am grateful for where we live and happy to support these worthwhile initiatives.
