Thank you to everyone who joined us for Foundation Day on October 3 to celebrate 50 years of protecting nature! 💚

Whether you joined a guided hike, explored the outdoor education classroom, or learned about local stewardship opportunities, we hope you enjoyed the day! A special thank you to Modo Yoga Hamilton - Dundas & Stoney Creek for bringing movement and mindfulness to the celebration with outdoor yoga.

At the heart of it all was land. Natural spaces protected decades ago are now cherished by new generations, reminding us what we can accomplish together.

Our celebration continues as we work to raise $500,000 to acquire and conserve ecologically significant land.

For 50 years, the Hamilton Conservation Foundation and our community of supporters have helped protect the natural spaces that make our region so special. The forests, trails and waterways we treasure today are part of a legacy created by people who cared about the future and chose to take action.

Now, it’s our turn. Rooted celebrates that legacy while looking ahead to what we can protect together. Our goal is to raise $500,000 toward a pivotal land acquisition, helping safeguard more natural lands for wildlife, our communities and generations to come.

Today, we honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, their families and Indigenous communities. It is a day to reflect on the lasting impacts of the residential school system, listen to Indigenous voices and continue learning about the history and ongoing journey of truth and reconciliation.

The Basadinaa Experience offers one opportunity to continue that learning through First Nations teachings, treaty history and cultural knowledge.
