Formed by the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet roughly 11,000 years ago, Lake Ontario derives its name from the Wyandot word Ontarí'io, meaning "Great Lake" or "shining waters."
For millennia, the basin served as a vital hub for the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, who utilized its expansive shorelines for sophisticated trade networks and sustainable fishing. Following European contact, the lake became a strategic frontier. By the 1800s, settler industrialization transformed the landscape into a powerhouse of shipping and milling. This rapid expansion laid the groundwork for the Golden Horseshoe’s urban density, forever altering the lake’s ancient ecological rhythms.
Working to help protect, care for, and repair what should be considered the commons, join Ontario artist Jill Price as she continues to embrace the long history of maintenance art and walking as an artform to help protect shorelines and their respective living bodies of Land and Water.
Supplying reusable buckets, gloves, protective UN/making Network t-shirts, and garbage pickers, the artist encourages participants to wear protective footwear. Participants are also invited to visit Price's current exhibition I've Been Here Before at the Art Gallery of Mississauga that opened on May 2, 2026 and runs until July 19, 2026.
A rain-or-shine event, participants will be notified by email of cancellation one hour before start times upon the occurrence of hazardous weather events or warnings.
Dr. Jill Price of the UN/making Network respectfully acknowledges that they sit on , and territories, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Ojibwe, Odawa and Pottawatomi nations, collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy.
Meet in at the beach side of Port Credit Parking Lot P-323-PKL-6 near RK McMillan Park.
Arriving late? Look for Jill Price pulling a black wagon containing blue buckets and wearing an UN/making Network shirt on the beach located in front of Beach Street.
