Bruce County announced that in honour of Indigenous History Month, it unveiled the latest commissioned artwork, a piece by local Indigenous artist Brent Henry that will be displayed at the Walkerton Administration Centre.
Henry was born in Owen Sound and rained in Southampton.
Following the discovery of the unmarked gravesites at several former residential schools across Canada in 2022, and as part of Canada’s commitment to reconciliation, Henry was commissioned by the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre.
Bruce County has an impressive collection of over 80 pieces, from many talented artists who call Bruce County Home.
Present in the photo from the unveiling are Bruce County CAO Derrick Thomson, Warden Janice Jackson and artist Brent Henry.
