We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

University of Ontario Institute of Technology receives more than 3,500 applications

January 22, 2003

Oshawa, Ont. - Canada' s newest university, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology is extremely pleased to receive more than 3,500 applications across all programs for enrolment in September 2003. The number of applicants who rank the university among their top three choices supports its role in helping to meet a critical need.

The university will make every effort to accommodate these students while maintaining the highest quality academic standards, which are key to students' success. The university is hiring highly qualified faculty in preparation for an enrolment of between 700 and 1,000 full-time students this fall. Part-time studies will also be offered to first-year students beginning in September.

Although the deadline for online applications from secondary students has passed, the application figures are preliminary as the Ontario Universities' Application Centre is still reviewing and distributing applications to Ontario universities. Final application numbers are expected in February.

The University of Ontario Institute of Technology offers nine undergraduate degree programs in areas of business and information technology, sciences, engineering, nursing, justice studies and education.

Located less than an hour' s drive east of Toronto, the university is constructing a series of buildings including a library and new residence village surrounded by beautiful outdoor spaces in a student-focused, pedestrian-friendly campus. All first-year students will be guaranteed a place in residence. The university' s first academic building will include lecture halls, classrooms, labs and meeting rooms.
