There was a recent public presentation of an iconic Artist-led feature wall art piece that symbolizes a genuine representation of Indigenous themes. The Treaty Holder First Nations Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and August & Luke Swinson from Mississaugas of Scucog Island First Nation presented their concept design for the 40-metre-long proposed feature wall – just inside the Dufferin Gates on the east side.
The City will develop 11 Brock Avenue, the former site of an LCBO just north of Queen Street West, into a 40-unit rent-geared-to-income supportive housing development.
