Canada Day

Free reusable water bottles were given out at the entrance to Del Crary Park thanks to MNP!

On Canada Day, we reflect on our country's history and its relationship with Indigenous nations.

We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional and treaty territories of the Williams Treaties First Nations, including the Anishinaabeg peoples of Hiawatha, Curve Lake, Alderville, Beausoleil, Georgina Island, Rama, and the Mississaugas of Scugog Island.

We recognize the ongoing impacts of these treaties, the injustices that occurred, and the enduring strength and resurgence of Indigenous communities.
