The territorial acknowledgment read out at Monday’s committee-of-the-whole meeting of Cobourg council meeting was the same one read at all council meetings – except this one was received by a council mostly attired in orange.
Mayor Lucas Cleveland commented on the colour worn by councillors and staffers at the committee-of-the-whole session, and its appropriateness with Saturday being the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
“I encourage all the public to look at our Cobourg website, with incredible opportunities to learn of the Indigenous Nations around us,” Cleveland said.
The mayor added that the site also lists events and observances being held in honour of the occasion, and his hope that everyone will take advantage of these opportunities.
