as part of this year's commemoration of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.
The City of Richmond Hill unveiled new waterway signs in the City’s parks to identify the three rivers that run throught the City - the Don, Rouge and Humber
A ceremony was held at Lennox Park - with the German Mills Creek, a tributary of the Don River, running through it
Signs are also at
- Rouge River Headwaters Valley and Trails
- East Humber Trail
The City worked with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN), one of Richmond Hill’s Treaty Partners, who provided the Ojibway translations of the three waterways.
The signs feature artwork of three common fish species which inhabit these waterways:
- Redside Dace
- Bluntnose Minnow
- Mottled Sculpin
The artwork was created by Indigenous artist Tracey Anthony.(see her website www.Visionartworks.ca)
