Two Rows Together: An Appreciation Series
Indigenous Relations & Reconciliation
Two Rows Together
An Appreciation & Education Series
Creating opportunities to learn, reflect and build greater understanding of Indigenous representation, reconciliation and our shared responsibilities.
About the series
Learning together through appreciation and education
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.
