The Humber River: A River’s Indigenous Roots and
Bolton’s Water-powered Industrial Past
October 19 2026 at 7:30 pm
A new narrative plaque, recently positioned at the McFall Lookout, honours our community’s indigenous past and details its later industrial drivers.
Presenters Valerie Mackie and John McFall will describe the plaque and outline both the chronology of the multiple dams, built along the Humber over a ninety-year span, as well as the industries they powered. John will conclude by recounting ‘an insider’s’ story of the design and construction of the last of those dams, the 1912 concrete dam built by his grandfather Arthur McFall.
