The purpose of this meeting is for each member of the 2022 to 2026 Oshawa City Council to take their Oath of Office, to hear the Inaugural Address by Mayor Carter and consider several staff reports.

The City of Oshawa sits on treaty land that is steeped in rich Indigenous history and is the present day home to many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. We acknowledge that we live and work on land covered under the Williams Treaties, and the traditional territories of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation.


We acknowledge this land out of respect for the many Indigenous nations who have cared for the lands and waters from the beginning of time and still do so today.  We extend our gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity to live and work on this territory.  


We are committed to understanding the truth of our shared history, confronting our past and present, and building a better future together in true reconciliation.
