Creditview Wetland Stewards

Creditview Wetland Stewards Committee of local educators and environmentalists working with community and schools to create an awareness for this gem in the City of Mississauga.

"The Battle of the Bog"

The Creditview Wetland originated post de-glaciation ca. 12 000 b.p. Citizens under the leadership of Jocelyn Webber fought "The Battle of the Bog" to preserve the Creditview Wetland and subsequently the City of Mississauga purchased the Wetland back from developers in 1998. Urban development has encircled this natural wilderness over the past 17 years and there has been a significant decline in vegetation and in particular, wildlife species diversity and abundance. Being a self-contained basin perched above the water table, the Wetland is fed mostly by precipitation. Water quality and quantity influences and impacts significantly on the Wetland.

You are invited to gather quietly in the Rotary Peace Corner to embrace inner and world peace and to enjoy the natural environment.

Rotary is a global network of 1.4 million neighbours, friends, leaders, and problem solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change-across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. Founded in 1905, Rotary conducts global forums, hosts international peace symposiums and advances peace through its 77-year collaboration with the United Nations all in the unwavering pursuit to achieve the goal of worldwide peace and tolerance.

A Peace Pole is an internationally recognized symbol of the hopes and dreams of the entire human family, standing vigil in silent prayer for peace on earth. The Peace Pole is a handcrafted monument that displays the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in Anishinaabemowin, English and French.

The Peace Pole is a joint project between the Rotary Clubs of Mississauga, Mississauga West, Mississauga Meadowvale, Mississauga City Centre, Mississauga Rotaract and the City of Mississauga.
