‍The Region of Peel particularly the City of Brampton, which hosts a multitude of immigrants and newcomers and with people from all diverse backgrounds, we wanted to make sure a lot of the physical barriers of environmental education are removed such as learning about the nature that surrounds us all that may seem ubiquitous at first glance but teeming with life when one knows where to look. With this project, and what designates it as unique is that we translated our works to Hindi, which many people in this region speak or are familar with especially catering to elderly residents who may not speak English or may have not had to chance to learn it just yet.

Right next to the English and Hindi names of the species, the Ojibwe names, the language of the indigineous Mississaugas, is written to remind and showcase the strong indigenous ties and the hold this land has for the First People of Turtle Island. It is important that they also understand the importance of the land, the bounty and beauty it shares, and the many furry faces that call Brampton home. By intimately knowing the names of the species of the flora and fauna, what it means to the many indigenous cultures that call this land home, you take this land under wings and protect it for future generations.
