Along the Grand

The Grand River is celebrating its 30th year as a Canadian Heritage River. The River and its tributaries (the Conestogo, Eramosa, Nith and Speed rivers) has played an important role the development and settlement of our region for centuries.

The Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississauga’s of the Credit peoples called the River valley home for more than 10,000 years. Waves of immigration from across the globe have settled Along the Grand—enjoying the vibrant watershed, the wild life, and the connections to this unique place.

We encourage artists working in all mediums to explore and celebrate life Along the Grand. Historically, dams, mills, canals, bridges and early homes have left an impact. Today the River continues to play a role in our sense of places and spaces. Join us in celebrating the impact the River continues to have on our every day life.
