Currents of Change: Inspiring Action along the Grand River
On exhibit until December 14, 2025 at McDougall Cottage
Stretching from Dundalk to Lake Erie, the Grand River watershed is home to around 1 million people, 90 species of fish, and 250 species of birds. It is also a main source of drinking water for these populations.
Through a blend of history, ecology, and Indigenous and settler narratives, this captivating exhibit examines the profound and dynamic connection between the Grand River, Cambridge’s heritage, and our collective future.
Come discover the shared responsibility for the River’s preservation and learn what can be done to help protect this vital resource for future generations.
