Credit Valley Conservation has recently installed the signage at its Floating Island Project, at Botavia Downs Park (Botavia Downs Road and Chinguacousy Road). Winners were unveiled in a September ceremony.

The Environmental Enhancement Demonstration Site is a partnership between the CVC and the City of Brampton, in partnership with Queens University, Trent University, C&M Athletics, Greenland Consulting Engineers and Fletcher's Meadow Secondary School. The art project created works for the park, and was a partnership between the CVC, the City, and Visual Arts Brampton.
