Hastings County is situated on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Huron-Wendat, Anishnaabe and the Haudenosaunee peoples. Hastings County Council acknowledges our shared obligation to respect, honour and sustain these lands and the natural resources contained within. We honour their cultures and celebrate their commitment to this land. We would also like to acknowledge the Mohawk and Algonquin nations whose traditional and unceded territory we gather on. Hastings County is situated on treaty land abounding in rich Indigenous history and home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people.​
