South Humber Monument
Over thousands of years, the Humber and its valley provided Indigenous peoples-the Wendat (Huron), the
Onondowagah (Seneca) and the Michi-Saagl (Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation) among others-with
water, food and shelter, and with means for travel and trade via the Toronto Passage. French explorers
and traders made good use of this route and the Humber River provided a source of power
for the settlers who followed. Today the Humber valley affords much-needed recreation
space for our city. Remember its history. Protect its future.
