Tabor Hill Ossuaries
Indian Mound Crescent
Tabor Hill is a significant site of Indigenous ancestors. The site was traditionally used as a sacred burial ground by the Wendat People, said to house the remains of approximately 475 people. All First Nations have their own burial practices, however there certainly were differences in burying practices among nations. According to Wendat tradition, a specific ceremony called the Yandatsa ('the kettle' in Wendat language) was conducted during which those that had passed on were honoured. Today that feast is often referred to in English as the 'Feast of the Dead' a term that was coined by the Jesuits. The traditional ceremony, again, followed a very particular methodology by which those that had passed on would be guided in their journey beyond the physical plane. The site is also located in close proximity to a thirteenth century ancestral Wendat village, which is about a mile up the Highland Creek.

Churchill Heights Public School
749 Brimorton Drive
This local public elementary school serves the local community but it was also once where the two founding members of famous Canadian band Barenaked Ladies met. Ed Robertson and Steven Page attended school here and by 1988 they were performing for live audiences. In 1991, the band performed on Speakers' Corner, introducing themselves as the Barenaked Ladies and sang 'Be My Yoko Ono'. The clip which aired on local TV channels became very popular and helped grow the band's fan base. That same year they released a self-titled 5-song tape, featuring songs 'Be My Yoko Ono', 'Brian Wilson' and 'If I had a Million Dollars'. That cassette became the first independent release to be certified platinum in Canada for sales of more than 100,000 copies. The band has since sold millions of albums world-wide, received numerous accolades and been inducted to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and Canada's Walk of Fame.

Christian Giroux and Daniel Young 'Reticulated Gambol'
Lee Centre Park
Both a jungle gym and a contemporary artwork, 'Reticulated Gambol' challenges the imagination of neighbourhood children just as its creation challenged the talents of acclaimed Canadian artists Christian Giroux and Daniel Young. This functional and interactive public artwork is made from standard CSA-certified playground equipment. Its symmetrical, blue steel square form sets it apart from the multi-coloured, asymmetrical arrangements found in a typical playground.
