Honoured to once again be part of Two Row on the Grand. 🛶💜

On Monday, we had the privilege of welcoming Elders aboard as we travelled upriver to meet the paddlers on their 10-day journey through the Grand River—following the heart of traditional Haudenosaunee Territory.

Inspired by the spirit of the Two Row Wampum Belt, Two Row On The Grand brings people together in the values of peace, friendship, and mutual respect. It’s an honour to play a small role in supporting this meaningful annual journey.

Thank you to everyone who continues to keep this tradition alive.
