Land Acknowledgement:

The Newmarket Voice Festival recognizes and acknowledges that Newmarket sits on the traditional territories of the Wendat, Haudenosaunee and the Anishinaabe peoples whose presence continues to this day. We honour them and acknowledge that these lands were originally occupied by the First Peoples of the Williams Treaties First Nations and other Indigenous people. We thank them for sharing this land.

We also acknowledge the Chippewas of Georgina First Nation as our closest First Nation community. They are the water protectors and environmental stewards of these lands and we join them in these responsibilities.
