Water and time: Cooksville Creek, from microseasons to this millennium
Kenneth C and Moni S
Let's take a walk along Mississauga's Cooksville Creek, as an exercise in traveling deep, and not far across both time and space. Let's have conversations about what brings us—people, peoples, and place; humans and nonhumans; ancestors and future kin—together; about portals to an alternate, actually-existing Mississauga; about inhabiting a place; and about water.
Most of our route will be within a ten-minute walk (or less) from the 2 Hurontario and 3 Bloor MiWay bus routes.
Washrooms and a vending machine for drinks and snacks will be available a little past the midway point, at Mississauga Valleys Park.
