01
A compilation of records and community memories
The linked history explains that it draws on records and older people’s recollections. One selected passage describes Dan Boyer travelling by canoe or boat along the Mississauga River for trapping. That named person’s experience introduces river-based work without standing for every family or period.
The Lands and Resources Department describes community land-use planning, land and water management, environmental monitoring and partnerships. It connects this work with land-based learning and historical knowledge. The page explains responsibilities and goals; underlying plans and environmental results remain to inspect.
