Our Vision Symbol:
The turkey vulture is a common bird in the watershed that symbolizes the significant natural heritage of the area. Cradled in the bird’s soaring wings, in a protective manner, a stylized Niagara Escarpment with trees portrays the watershed’s most significant natural feature, with the wavy line depicting the creeks and Lake Ontario shoreline.
