As part of the celebration, Jamii is proud to present Tribal Vision Dance!
Tribal Vision Dance is a family dance troupe from the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. The group is comprised of champion singers and dancers with a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with young audiences and families to build a deeper understanding and appreciation of First Nations culture.

Tribal Vision Dance is performing their engaging performance “Visions of Turtle Island”. It is an invitation to explore First Nations history and traditions in Tribal Vision’s high-energy performance! The artist will explain the history and significance of their dances and illustrate the cultural experience of First Nations peoples in Canada. This show is an introduction to the powwow culture of North American Indigenous people. Join the artists for an interactive Q&A to learn more about their regalia, dances, and First Nations history.

Crombie Park Revitalization

The David Crombie Park Revitalization project is a comprehensive conceptual design and implementation plan for improvements to the park in response to the current and future needs of the community. The conceptual park design was developed through an extensive community engagement process during Phase 1.

Phase 2 is currently underway. Park improvements will be implemented based on the approved plans. City divisions are working closely together to deliver the park revitalization alongside cycle track improvements on The Esplanade for a seamless integration of the park and public realm.
