New trail signs in Dundas Valley tell the 'Basadinaa Experience' from the Indigenous perspective

Hikers in Dundas Valley can now experience the towering white pines, bubbling creeks and bird songs from the Indigenous perspective.

The Basadinaa Experience shares stories of cultural and historical significance from the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) and Six Nations of the Grand River. The traditional lands of both groups overlap with the sprawling conservation area.

The Hamilton Conservation Authority worked with both nations to create the 13 signs displayed along the valley's main loop.
