On Monday, June 17, 2013 the Pen Pal Gathering brought together 1800 students from Six Nations, Mississaugaus of the New Credit First Nation and many children from the neighbouring communities of Haldimand and Norfolk County, Hamilton, Brantford and Burlington. The students exchanged letters throughout the year and came together in the celebration of peace and friendship. This year’s event was especially meaningful as we celebrated our 200 year ally relationship since the War of 1812 and the Treaty relationship we have maintained since 1613.
