Gichi-Name Wiikwedong Reconciliation Garden

In 2010, after the committee planned, funded and built a permanent healing and reconciliation garden to recognize and celebrate Indigenous history and culture, this site was completed. In the spirit of reconciliation, it is a contemplative place where the community can pause, reflect and remember. The location was chosen because the banks of these rivers were once fertile hunting/fishing grounds.
