MD Program, Temerty Faculty of Medicine

1 King's College Circle, Medical Sciences Building, Room 3157
Toronto, ON. M5S 1A8

The land on which the MD Program operates has been a site of human activity for thousands of years. This land is the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, Seneca and most recently the Mississaugas of the New Credit. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant which is an agreement to peaceably share resources around the Great Lakes. Today Toronto is also home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, and on this important traditional territory and meeting place.
