History is now being made. Ownership of much of Canada's largest city and payment for the land - a debt outstanding since 1787 - is almost resolved after many years of negotiations. Forthcoming details regarding settlement of the Toronto Purchase Land Claim will be made available during the February lectures by Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation at the Tollkeeper's Cottage.

Join us this Wednesday for a lecture, "The History of the New Credit Mississaugas from 1650" by New Credit Land Claims Expert and Historian Margaret Sault, followed by a lecture each of the next 3 weeks by others from the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation.
