Dr. Elizabeth Favot, PhD, Assistant Lake Stewardship Coordinator, Federation of Ontario Cottagers' Associations (FOCA) gave the presentation on February 9th. Participants had the chance to ask questions.

The HLPOA acknowledge the lands and waters on which we meet, are the traditional homelands of the First Nation, Métis and Inuit peoples. Our beautiful lakes are fed from the north and flow to the south. We therefore acknowledge the Algonquin and Mississauga peoples as well as the governance of the Williams Treaties. We wish to express gratitude to Mother Earth, the resources we are using, and honour all Indigenous people who have been and continue to live on these lands.
