As a festival that brings together performance nationally and internationally, we wish to acknowledge that SummerWorks takes place on the traditional territory, Tkaronto, “Where the Trees Meet the Water,” “The Gathering Place” of the Mississauga, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat Nations. As we come together we pay our respects to all our relations who have gathered and will continue to gather in this place.
