Event Details

High Park is the ancestral Land of many nations including the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. The abundance of High Park today is a result of continuous Indigenous Caretaking and Stewardship for thousands of years.

We are excited to partner with Carolynne Crawley of Msit No’kmaq to host a summer evening walk in High Park.

About the Walk:

Carolynne Crawley from Msit No’kmaq and Turtle Protectors will guide an engaging two-eyed seeing walk that will create opportunities for participants to connect deeper with themselves, each other, and with Mother Earth. Carolynne will share about the foods and medicines growing on the land and scientific studies that measure the many health benefits of spending time with the land. She will emphasize the importance of being in a reciprocal relationship with all beings along with the individual responsibility to be in this relationship,

Regular One Day Events Cancellation Policy

Content Creation Statement

We ask to respect our work and to not create content to promote any other brands or organizations using footage or images taken during our events. Our team is putting a lot of energy and time into creating community spaces with little support and unrelated organizations should not benefit from our hard labour. You are encouraged to share about Colour the Trails work as it shows the welcoming and safe space we are creating and word of mouth helps our community to grow!
