Georgina Island Child Care Centre

Georgina Island, located in Ontario, is home to the Chippewas of Georgina Island, an Anishinaabe Nation situated on the shores of Lake Simcoe. The community holds a rich history, having ratified The Framework Agreement on First Nation Lands Management to protect their rights to hunt, fish, and gather. They govern themselves through their Nation’s constitution, Chi-Naaknigewin, upholding traditions and principles like the Seven Grandfather Teachings.

Rooted in strong community bonds and ancestral ties to the land, the Chippewas of Georgina Island are dedicated to revitalizing their cultural practices and ways of knowing. They envision a future focused on economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and the preservation of language and culture for generations to come. Their journey towards a good life, ‘Bemaudiziwin’, is guided by values such as Respect, Courage, Honesty, and Love.

Embracing their heritage and striving for a harmonious coexistence with all who share their lands, the Chippewas of Georgina Island invite others to walk alongside them in their pursuit of a meaningful and fulfilling life in alignment with their ancestral teachings and values.
