The Port Colborne Historical & Marine Museum has launched a new project celebrating diversity.

As part of the "Digging for Roots: Diversity Garden" initiative, local artists painted flowerpots with symbols indicating what diversity means to them.

The pots will be filled with flowers and displayed for the public to see beginning July 31st.

You can see the displays at the Port Colborne Historical and Marine Museum from 1:00 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. this Saturday.
