The development of our project has been deeply rooted in community engagement and collaboration from its inception. There is a proud history of marking this important historic event in our community. The arrival of the Peter Robinson settlers was marked in special ways in 1830, 1897, 1925, 1927 and 2015 by many local volunteers and collaborators. Currently, our project benefits from the partnership of more than a dozen community organizations, with representation from across the Nogojiwanong-Peterborough region, all of whom have provided letters of support.
