A Vision for Wilmot - 2025

An excerpt taken from a legal Agreement between “Createscape Waterloo Region” and “The Corporation of the Township of Wilmot”, signed by the mayor, clerk and Createscape. It is dated May 5, 2016. [click on underlined]

During a period of 5 years, after signing a legal Agreement, the Township never implemented an “educational component”, essential to the project’s success.

However, during this time period the Township DID develop some promotional materials, and received submissions for potential landscaping at the Township Hall site, and some draft educatiopnal materials from Nipissing University.

There is reputable evidence that Createscape had made connections and arranged for provision of the following, at no cost to the township:

landscaping of the area at Castle Kilbride where the 42 pieces of art were to be located,
potential expansion of the parking area behind the township hall,
construction of a longhouse/interpretation centre at the site,
an educational resources program created at Nippissing University in its Indigenous Studies education department.
