Annual Reports

We acknowledge this sacred land where Lansing United is located, has been a site of human activity for more than 15,000 years. This land is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Haudenosaunee and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit. The Traditional Territory that Lansing United Church is on, falls under Treaty No. 13, agreed to by the Crown of England and the Chiefs of the Mississaugas of the Credit.

Today, the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island, and we are grateful for this land that was under their care. Because of this care, we are able to do what we do – provide worship space for several ecumenical partners, create space for a large childcare centre and after school programming, make space for ESL classes, music programs and a variety of community events. Here, we live into our commitment to be a welcoming and affirming place, where all are welcome.

Our pledge is to care for this land as a symbol of our desire to walk with Indigenous peoples in a spirit of reconciliation and respect.
