Algonquin Homeland For Thousands of Years
Donation protected
Lanark County Neighbours for Truth & Reconciliation is excited to share with you this plaque that the Town of Perth has approved for installation in the Tay Basin. “Thousands of Years of Algonquin Homeland” speaks to the impact of colonization on Indigenous people. The importance of telling this story in downtown Perth cannot be overstated as we work to rebalance the settler perspective on the settlement of Lanark County as part of our commitment to Reconciliation. The plaque is the result of a lengthy period of collaboration with local Indigenous advisors.
The plaque will be installed in the spring of 2021 and an unveiling ceremony will take place then. We hope to raise $4000 all of which will go towards the cost of the 36"x60" panel including its installation overlooking the Tay River bank at the Crystal Palace.
Donations can be made using this Go Fund Me link or by etransfer to [email redacted], by sending a cheque to Maureen Bostock 1807 Highway 511, Balderson ON K0G 1A0 or dropping an envelope off at this address on your way to town.
If you are struggling during this pandemic, do not feel concerned if you cannot afford to make a donation. Instead please share this fundraiser with your friends as a way to make a contribution towards this important plaque. Please contact me at [phone redacted] or by email if you have any questions.
