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.

CMS introduction

A Content Management System (CMS) is an online application that allows individuals to manage the content on their websites, without the need to have prior knowledge of coding or design principles. The CMS allows individuals to create, edit, and delete content from their websites and preview any changes before publishing to the live website.

CMS overview

Content is created using a popular type of content editor:
WYSIWYG editor (or content editor) - pronounced WIZ-ee-wig; an acronym for 'what you see is what you get'. A type of content editor similar to a word processor that allows you to format and preview page content.

Websites in the university's CMS are designed according to a standard template which cannot be altered by CMS users. This includes elements like the overall website layout, the look and feel, and style elements such as font and colour choice.

All of the content within the user-editable section of the webpage (the main content area) can be altered by individuals trained in the CMS. This includes elements like text and imagery.
