In 1825, “Rev. Peter Jones, son of the surveyor Augustus Jones and his Ojibway wife, was actively ministering to the largely native Methodist congregation. Peter Jones was offended by the government issue of whiskey as part of the annual treaty payments and had the practice stopped with regard to Christian natives. The work of Peter and his brother John (whose names are street names in modern Port Credit) impressed government officials who decided to build a permanent community on the banks of the Credit where the Mississaugas (a sub-group of the Algonkians) could become farmers like the white pioneers around them.”
