The Maamawi Park Committee will be holding a Sod Turning Ceremony at 200 1st St. S.E. in Dauphin, the location of the former Dauphin Brewer's Diamond, on June 23rd starting at 1:15 p.m.
At the ceremony, the committee will share the short- and long-term plans for Maamawi Park. They feel that it's going to become a recreational hub that will leave a lasting impression on everyone that visits it.
The project is being untaken in the spirit of reconciliation. The committee's goal is to build a sustainable, engaging, accessible, state-of-the-art toboggan run and four-season recreation park to honour the high Indigenous population within the Parkland and share some of its rich history and customs.
According to Dauphin Recreation Services, it will provide a unique and free option for engaging and uniting families and all people, in a fun and physical environment.
They also said that beyond the economic and tourism benefits, Maamawi Park will also feature a prominent Indigenous presence helping to further our learning and the reconciliation efforts within the Parkland.
