Kii Ga Do Waak Nookimisuk (the Grandmothers Council) is a group of First Nations women who work to address sexual violence, exploitation and human trafficking in Indigenous Communities in Ontario through cultivating and restoring traditional roles and responsibilities.
With the help of community partners and volunteers they have recently installed a community garden on the site of the Community Resource Centre.
The garden will provide the area with traditional medicines like tobacco, sage, sweetgrass and an already abundant supply of cedar.
Apart from the medicine garden there is also space for growing some small culturally significant food items such a strawberries.
The group is also accepting donations of plants to the garden.
