With construction of the Maamawi Park now underway, residents are wondering just what will be included in the facility.

Committee member Stacey Penner said they are excited to see construction of the hill begin.

“I know it has garnered a lot of information,” she said.

The park’s name is Ojibwe, meaning together. Penner said when deciding on a name for the park, the committee was excited to celebrate the rich culture of the local Indigenous population.

“And something that really suits us in our community coming together for free physical activity. It’s just very, very fitting philosophically what we’re shooting for in building this park,” she said.
