Binational Peace garden Trail Plaque Binational Peace Garden Trail plaque. “On June 18, 1812, the United States declared war on Great Britain. Niagara was a focal point, and for three years the residents of Niagara Falls lived in a war zone. American invaders, British soldiers, local militia and First Nations warriors fought in and around the community. Two of the war's largest battles occurred in present day Niagara Falls. The Battle of Chippawa (July 5, 1814) and the Battle of Lundy’s Lane (July 25, 1814) were pivotal in changing the course of the war, the role of First Nations warriors and the identity of nations. The residents of Niagara Falls were devastated by the loss of lives, homes, mills and other businesses. The signing of the Treaty of Ghent in December of 1814 brought peace to North America and a new sense of understanding between our nations and our people. The relationships between Americans and Canadians were renewed and stronger bonds of cooperation continue to be seen throughout our community. On October 3, 2012, Hatch, the City of Niagara Falls and Members of Council collaboratively joined together to dedicate this garden as a Peace Garden, as part of the 1812 Bicentennial Project, which demonstrates the peaceful coexistence between Canada and the United States over the past 200 years.” -
