Event Information
HOPE (Hearts Open for Everyone), in partnership with Earthscape and the Queen’s Bush Settlement (QBS) Mural Advisory Committee, is excited to move forward with this public mural project honouring one of Ontario’s earliest Black communities. With our artist now commissioned, we’re entering an inspiring next phase of bringing this story to life.
The mural will serve as both a cultural landmark and an educational tool, highlighting the resilience, achievements, and legacy of QBS settlers and their descendants. The design will incorporate authentic stories, symbols, and experiences, informed by consultation with local historians, descendants, and community members.
Come join us on August 15 for an unveiling of the mural and stay to enjoy our featured historical exhibits!
Explore two compelling travelling exhibits by historian and researcher Peggy Plet that illuminate the experiences and contributions of early Black settlers in Waterloo Region and their enduring connections to the Queen’s Bush Settlement.
