McMaster University recognizes that the University and surrounding Hamilton area, including their nature spaces, are situated on traditional territories shared between the Haudenosaunee confederacy and Anishnaabe nations. These lands are protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum belt. The wampum uses the symbolism of a dish to represent the territory, and one spoon to represent that the people are to share the resources of the land and only take what they need.
On Sunday, June 18, 2023, from 10 am to 2 pm, King Street East (from John St to Gage Ave) will be temporarily shut to car traffic while being made available to citizens to take a walk, cycle, stroll or roll down the street.
The roadway will be converted into a greater public space, complete with fitness stations as well as additional activities.
Engage with other Hamiltonians in fun, sustainable practices! See you on June 18!
