Walking in the Creek

Thank you to everyone involved in Creek Lore. The response from the community around Tusmore Park was excited and generally very interested. It created a point of conversation and bought the community together in a positive way. Everyone has their relationship to the creek and this project has been a platform for people to share that.  Lets do it again on an other section of a creek....?
