Carole Finn, local artist and community booster, donated the dry stone bench in memory of her late husband Don.

In the centre of the bench there is a mossy stone collected from the Finn's farm. 'Spirit of the Wild' took artist, Aaron Galbraith, 7 days to make.

Land Acknowledgment

We would like to acknowledge that we are located on ancestral lands, the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinaabe covered by the Williams Treaties. This area, known to the Anishinaabe as “Gidaaki”, has been inhabited for thousands of years – as territories for hunting, fishing, gathering and growing food.


For thousands of years Indigenous people have been the stewards of this place. The intent and spirit of the treaties that form the legal basis of Canada bind us to share the land “for as long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the rivers flow”.
