“I used to live on Davenport Road, which is one of the oldest streets in North America and has been a First Nations trail for thousands of years, running along the north shore of Lake Iroquois, which receded after the last ice age,” Haliechuk explained in a statement. “Just to the east was Taddle Creek, which was buried underground during the 19th century to build the streets I walk on. I thought about gentrification a lot, watching little stores get swallowed up by big buildings until I realized I am one of those big buildings.”
