We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

The 2024 Total Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse happens when the moon passes between Earth and the sun, blocking the sun from view for parts of Earth, either totally or partially.

Solar eclipses actually happen about every six months, when the eclipse season is in its new moon phase, where the moon's orbital plane is closest to the plane of earth's orbit. And total solar eclipses happen every 18 months, however, because the sun is only blocked from view from small parts of the earth each time, they only recur at any given place only once every 360 to 410 years.

On April 8, a total eclipse will cross North America, passing over Canada, the US, and Mexico. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk.

Take a listen to Faculty of Science professor Dr Rupinder Brar talk about preparing for the eclipse.
