The Moccasin Identifier Initiative, was founded by former Chief Carolyn King of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. The initiative is a teaching tool and public awareness building program for Treaty relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians. Representing Indigenous diversity through the various moccasin designs, the moccasin is a 'physical expression of the First Nations journey and considered sacred and passed down to the next generation. As Mother Earth is sacred, the moccasin allows people to tread on her with honour and respect. The activity of stencil painting the various moccasin designs by children along the Waterfront Trail will help teach this knowledge to the next generation of Burlingtonians.  In person. Register at hb@burlington.ca. Washable tempera paints will be used. Participants should be prepared with activity and weather-appropriate clothing.
