Land Acknowledgement
Toronto is in the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory. The Dish With One Spoon is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.
We honor their deep knowledge, resilience, and stewardship of these lands and waters, which continue to sustain us all. Let us honor the enduring presence and contributions of Indigenous Peoples to this land.
Message from the Host
鈥淔or 40 years, SWAAC has brought women in higher education together to connect, inspire one another and advance leadership across our institutions. This milestone anniversary is both a celebration of that extraordinary legacy and an opportunity to look ahead: to the barriers we have yet to overcome, the opportunities we can create and the next generation of women who will shape the future of academia. 自淫系列 is proud to host this important gathering and to welcome women leaders from across Canada as we learn from our collective experiences and imagine what comes next.鈥�
