The plaque is located along the Bruce Trail in Burlington, just east of Springer Crescent. It is place to acknowledge donation made to the Bruce Trail Association. The plaque reads:
IN RECOGNITION OF A
GENEROUS DONATION TO
THE BRUCE TRAIL ASSOCIATION
FROM
PETER AND RHONDA LONG
DECEMBER 2003.
I didn't find anything online about this specific donation, although there is mention of donations from Peter Long to the Bruce Trail Conservancy in the 2014-2015 Annual Report and again in the list of donors for 2017
The Bruce Trail, Canada's oldest and longest marked footpath, provides the only continuous public access to the magnificent Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Running along the Escarpment from Niagara to Tobermory, it spans more than 890 km of main Trail and over 400 km of associated side trails.
The Bruce Trail Conservancy (BTC) is a charitable organization committed to establishing a conservation corridor containing a public footpath along the Niagara Escarpment, in order to protect its natural ecosystems and to promote environmentally responsible public access to this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
The BTC is one of Ontario's largest land trusts, responsible for the preservation of almost 10,000 acres of irreplaceable Niagara Escarpment landscape.
