The United Way of Bruce Grey is working with a group planning a memorial park near Williamsford in honour of the area’s early Black settlers. The local United Way will serve as the charitable partner, receiving and administering donations for the Negro Creek Committee’s planned Early Black Settlers of Negro Creek Memorial Park project. Along with community friends, they are constructing the park to honour those early settlers. The park is being constructed along Negro Creek Road, just east of Highway 6, south of Williamsford. Two acres was donated in 2024 by Jim Douglas, of the original Douglas family on Negro Creek Road.
