Walk the Moccasin Trail Along Bronte Creek - Self Guided

Accès

À propos

Follow the Moccasin Trail to explore the history of Bronte Creek from an Indigenous perspective. This self-directed trail was developed in partnership with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and Indigenous community members and acknowledges the presence of the Indigenous Peoples who travelled through this region over the last 11,000 years.

The Moccasin Trails features a series of 13 plaques containing Indigenous stories, verses and information relating to the land, water, and sky, giving everyone a deeper understanding of Indigenous heritage. In the traditional teachings of both the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse), this Inspiration Journey follows the elements of their Thanksgiving Address and traditional teachings in which we acknowledge and express our collective appreciation for what the Creation provides for us.

Follow the Moccasin Trails signs along Bronte Creek Heritage Trail beginning at Rebecca Street and Mississaga Street. There is an information kiosk at the corner of Rebecca and Mississaga Street. The walk ends just before the Lakeshore Road West Bridge.
