The event will take place at Crawford Lake (3115 Conservation Road, Milton) on Sunday, September 4th from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m..
The day’s activities include planting in the garden, Indigenous elders speaking, big drum, dancers, and Indigenous-inspired food!
Crawford Lake Conservation Area will also be celebrating the opening of the expanded Mashkiki Gitigan (medicine garden).
The expansion provides traditional medicines for Indigenous community members and educational opportunities for tens of thousands of school children each year.
The Conservation Halton project is supported with a $20,000 USD TD Green Space Grant from TD Bank Group (TD) and the Arbor Day Foundation to support innovative urban greening and tree planting projects in underserved areas of the community.
Conservation Halton was one of 20 U.S. and Canadian cities selected to receive a grant.
This is an opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members to come to the land, share community support, and honour ceremony through Indigenous Food Sovereignty and the Gitigan- Garden expansion opening.
Reservations are limited for this celebration and must be made through parkvisit.ca.
