📍 This event takes place on the unceded traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We take this time to try to do better with this small but first step in raising awareness on how we as immigrants and descendants of immigrants still benefit from the harms caused by colonialism. We cannot ignore the history of genocide on this land and its impact on Indigenous peoples still continues today. We encourage guests to take this opportunity to learn more about this land's history and how they can support Indigenous nations in both small and large ways.
♿️ Accessibility: Accessible entrance to Dragon City Mall is on Dundas St for assistive mobility devices. An elevator goes to the top floor directly to the restaurant. Please let us know if you have any essential accessibility needs.
🚽 The washrooms are divided by binary genders (men or women).
📸 Photos and videos will be taken at this event and posted on our social media.
