Our Land Acknowledgement shows recognition of and respect for Indigenous peoples from the past and the present. We acknowledge that the property of Richland Academy is situated upon traditional territories of the Anishinabek, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit, Mississauga and the Wendat peoples.
Recognizing this land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial.
This week at our morning gathering, we paid tribute to Dr. Herb Carnegie (1919-2012), founder of the Future Aces philosophy embraced by Richland Academy, who passed away on March 9th at the age of 92. Our Grade 4 students thoughtfully prepared a PowerPoint of Dr. Carnegie’s life, which they presented to students, along with a short video tribute. Dr. Carnegie was an inspiration to our students, staff and community, and will always be remembered for his altruistic and compassionate nature.
