Three trail projects honouring Oakville's indigenous culture will receive $40,450 in funding from Oakville Community Foundation (OCF) 's Community Fund for Canada's 150th birthday. The money will go to building a First Nations information station on the Bronte Creek Heritage Trail, as well as the creation of two Moccasin Trails -- one on the Bronte Creek Heritage Trail and the other on the Inner Valley Trail section of the Sixteen Mile Creek Trail. The Moccasin Trails will feature 13 plaques containing Aboriginal stories, verses and information relating to land, water and sky, giving visitors an in-depth understanding of Aboriginal heritage. Content for the information booth and plaques will be developed in partnership with the Mississauga's of the New Credit First Nation and indigenous community members. "Receiving this funding will not only help us commemorate Canada's 150th - it will allow us to honour the beginning of the Truth and Reconciliation process, in partnership with indigenous members of our community," stated Mayor Rob Burton, in a media release. "We're very much looking forward to sharing this important part of our history and culture through these exciting trail projects." The trail projects are expected to be complete by late fall 2017. The Community Fund for Canada' s 150 is part of a national program developed by Community Foundations of Canada, in partnership with the federal government, which seeks to inspire a thorough knowledge of the country. It also encourages broad and inclusive participation in a wide-range of initiatives to mark Canada's sesquicentennial anniversary of Confederation.
