The Proposed Project

The Kahkewistahaw First Nation (KFN) is proposing to create an accessible walking trail that will link the Chief Joseph Crowe Governance Centre, the Elders' Centre, and the Chief Kahkewistahaw Community School.

The project includes:

• Approximately 1.5km of walking trail
• A garden and outdoor teaching area for learning about culturally significant native plants and their interrelationship to the ecosystem
• Addition of native trees, shrubs and ground covers in the garden and along the trail
• A wood gazebo with an electrical hookup near the Elders' Centre
• Signs, benches, and lighting along the trail
