“I mean the site is over 70 acres and if you think of the land value and the tax base, the city could have made a lot of money selling it off for houses or other kinds of things,” Linoswki said.

“Instead, they chose to recognize the significance of it and recognize the cultural heritage of all the Indigenous peoples that have been in this area.”

Linowski said that community members with a small collection can bring them to the event and discover what exactly the pieces are with an approximate age.

Festivities will be at the bottom of the toboggan hill and will have tours at the archeaology site, running between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
