Killarney: Gateway to the North Channel

Situated at the entrance to the North Channel amidst sparkling white quartzite peaks and pink granite rock, its harbour sheltered from the turbulent waters of Georgian Bay by George Island, the original Village of Killarney is the oldest community on the north shore.

With a year-round population of less than 500, this treasure of Rainbow Country must surely rank as the biggest little town in Canada, if not the world!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

We acknowledge that we live, work, and are meeting on Indigenous land that has been inhabited by Indigenous peoples from the beginning. We thank all the generations of people who have taken care of this land for thousands of years. 
 
Long before today, as we gather here, there have been Indigenous peoples who have been the stewards of this place. We acknowledge the Robinson-Huron Treaty territory, unceded territory, and that the land on which we gather is the traditional home of the Anishinabek: specifically the people of Aundeck Omni Kaning, M’Chigeeng, Sheshegwaning, Zhiibaahaasing, Sheguiandah, Wiikwemkoong and Whitefish River. 
 
We recognize and deeply appreciate their connection to this place. By making this acknowledgement we are committing to ongoing action, awareness, and education that build on reconciliation efforts, and to work against anti-Indigenous racism. We honour the land and First Nations presence, practices, language, ceremonies and protocols which date back to time immemorial.

Miigwech.
