Some sad news unfortunately to pass your way today. One of our patrons, Frederick Ketchen, has passed away at the age of 85.

Whatever you're up to today with your herd (who all live in the same home as you because you're not mixing households because you're being responsible in the middle of a global pandemic) we hope you have a terrific #FamilyDay!

Mississauga’s longest-serving mayor, Hazel McCallion, often refers to Riverwood as the gem of the city, and she has supported The Riverwood Conservancy from its original inception as the Mississauga Garden Council. Through her long and distinguished political career, she never forgot the importance of connecting the residents of Mississauga to the beauty of nature. Wishing you the very best on your 100th birthday, and every day! #HazelMcCallionDay
