The month of March is the second moon of the Anishinaabe lunar calendar. In this region of Mississauga it is known as Sugar Making Moon.

This is the time when the season changes, the days get warmer, and the plants and flowers begin to wake.

Join us a Kim Wheatley, Grandmother Kim, tells the story of the discovery of the gift of sweet maple syrup from the trees, how these gifts must be appreciated, and how they are used today.

Each month Heritage Mississauga will follow the Anishinaabe lunar calendar and explore Anishinaabe teachings and history.

We would like to extend a big thank you or Chi Miigwetch to Kim Wheatley, Anishinaabe Cultural Consultant, and Faith Rivers, Cultural Coordinator for the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) Cultural Committee and Chair of the Indigenous Programs Committee for Heritage Mississauga, for their incredible support and contributions.

#ApartTogether​ we take time to give thanks to the Creator for gifts such as the "sugar" from trees that we can use to heal our bodies and to share with each other.

We acknowledge that this land is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the importance of this land and pay our respects to the Anishinaabe and other First Nations, Métis and Inuit past, present and future.
