Gichi-Name Wiikwedong Reconciliation Garden
In the Spirit of Reconciliation, the Garden will be a contemplative place where our community can pause, reflect and remember.
Location:
South end of Kelso Beach at Nawash Park
Vehicle entrance to the Park at 100 19th Street West, Owen Sound
The Kelso Beach at Nawash Park site was chosen as our oral and written history tells us that the banks of the Sydenham and Potawatomie were once the fertile hunting and fishing grounds of the Saugeen Ojibwa Nation of the Nawash people.
