Emergency Physicians – Uxbridge Hospital

Job Description

Land Acknowledgement

Oak Valley Health honours the traditional territory of the closest Indigenous communities, the Chippewas of Georgina Island and the Mississaugas of Scugog Island. The Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe have lived, worked and existed on this land from time immemorial. This land is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississauga of the Credit and the Williams Treaty signed with many Mississauga and Chippewa bands. We acknowledge that Indigenous Peoples were not asked to share their territory with settler populations and that we are all here as uninvited guests. We thank all generations of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island for their commitment, contributions and protection of the land and its resources.
