Help Bring the First Indigenous Gathering Space to Life on the Credit Valley Trail!
Indigenous Peoples in Canada have a rich and diverse cultural heritage that has been suppressed for far too long. It is time for us to take a different path. Right now, at the Credit Valley Trail’s northern trailhead in Orangeville, Credit Valley Conservation is proud to be constructing our first Indigenous placemaking site, the Crane Gathering Space, at Island Lake Conservation Area.
Credit Valley Conservation and The UPS Foundation join forces to support more sustainable communities
The Credit Valley Conservation Foundation (CVCF) announced today a renewed two-year partnership with The UPS Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the global logistics leader, in support of Credit Valley Conservation’s (CVC) Community Outreach tree planting and youth engagement programs. The UPS Foundation committed more than $100,000 to help sustain and enhance local green spaces in the Credit River Watershed.
Connecting with our Past is Essential to our Future
The entire watershed is situated on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. The watershed is also the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and Haudenosaunee and home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis People. In support of Indigenous Peoples, Credit Valley Conservation is committed to empowering Indigenous leadership in conservation through the development of dedicated space along the Credit Valley Trail (CVT) to honour Indigenous knowledge, history and present-day culture.
