The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) has several upcoming events with nature in mind.
Feb. 15 is a Heritage Day workshop at the Dunnville Community Lifespan Centre from 8:30am to 4:30pm
The theme for 2013 is Crossroads of Conflict, Pathways to Peace: The Haldimand Experience. This workshop builds on the theme from 2012 Crossroads of Conflict, Pathways to Peace: Divided Loyalties. It is the second Heritage Day workshop to focus on the influence of the war on the people, places and events in the Grand River watershed. The event is hosted by Haldimand County, the GRCA and the Heritage Working Group of The Grand Strategy.
