Two Rows Together: An Appreciation Series
The Two Rows Together: An Appreciation Series was designed in parallel with the creation of the Township’s Use of Indigenous-Themed Names, Logos and Images within or on Township Properties and Facilities Policy. The education series is part of the Pathway to Respectful Indigenous Representation that the Township of Centre Wellington is committed to.
The series creates opportunities for residents, staff, community partners, and local organizations to learn more about Indigenous representation, cultural appreciation, reconciliation, and the responsibilities connected to public symbols, names, logos, and images.
