Municipality of Rhineland Office

Treaty Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge that the communities located within the Municipality of Rhineland sit on Treaty 1 land, the original lands of the Anishinaabe peoples and on the homeland of the Metis nation.

The Municipality of Rhineland respects the treaties that were made on these treaty areas and we dedicate ourselves to moving forward in partnership with our Indigenous communities in a spirit of truth, reconciliation and collaboration. We are all treaty people.

Previously the Rural Municipality of Rhineland was incorporated in 1891 and previous to that it was the Rural Municipality of Douglas 1880.
