We are delighted to add Waterways Canada to the list of organizations formally endorsing the Little Forks National Urban Park proposal. Waterways "is an Indigenous-led nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting community wellness by using canoeing and outdoor recreation to connect Indigenous youth to cultural skills and identities." You can learn more about the organization and its activities at https://www.waterwayscanada.com/
"The proposal’s emphasis on Indigenous knowledge, reconciliation, and cultural expression aligns closely with our organization’s principles. The Little Forks National Park has the potential to honor the rich Indigenous history of this region by creating spaces for cultural gatherings, storytelling, and the celebration of traditions that have long been practiced at these important sites. We are particularly inspired by the opportunity for this project to engage urban Indigenous peoples, ensuring their voices are central to its development and fostering a deeper connection to their cultural heritage.
Waterways is proud to support initiatives that bridge reconciliation with action, foster inclusivity, and champion environmental stewardship. We believe the Little Forks Park Proposal embodies these values and stands as a transformative opportunity to unite diverse communities in celebration of shared history and a sustainable future."
