Huronia Lookout Icon Unveiling:
Congratulation to the Friends of the Huronia Lookout Committee on the official unveiling of the Wiidookdaadiwin Icon. The name comes from an Ojibway word meaning “working together and helping one another.” The sculpture depicts an image of a First Nations guide and European trader carrying a canoe and symbolizes the historic relationship of two cultures key to Canada’s development. Created by Springwater resident and renowned artist Marlene Hilton-Moore, the icon is a true testament to the accomplishments achieved when organizations work together towards a common goal.
The public is invited to view the icon on the front lawn of the Simcoe County Museum where it will stay until being moved atop the Huronia Lookout on George Johnston Road.
