Charter Day Convocation Wednesday October 7, 2020 The annual Charter Day Convocation of Victoria University commemorates the granting of Victoria’s Royal Charter by King William IV in 1836. Since 1895 this Convocation has been the occasion for the presentation of scholarships and other academic awards to students of Victoria College. The Order territorial acknowledgment We wish to acknowledge this land on which Victoria University in the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land. We encourage all those participating in the virtual 2020 Charter Day Celebration to reflect on the traditional territory in which they currently reside. opening remarks Professor William Robins
