North Bay Canada Place – Sowing the Seeds of Diversity and Inclusion Brick by Brick. North Bay Canada Place is an inclusive gathering space where downtown meets the Waterfront and 50+ award winning garden beds. The North Bay Heritage Gardeners invite you to celebrate the creation of North Bay Canada Place by purchasing an engraved brick to cement your legacy.
Construction of the accessible walkway was completed late fall of 2020, connecting two major pathways, complete with lighting and railings. The gathering space is scheduled for construction in spring 2022 which includes a seating area, and the addition of two beautiful new garden beds.
You are invited to honor fellow gardeners, friends, family, memorialize a loved one, call out a quote or short poem. Brick pavers are available in two sizes. Families, individuals, groups, clubs, and businesses are invited to have a personalized paver placed along the arched perimeter of the concrete pad. Logos are available in the largest size. The possibilities are endless!
Hariett Madigan, one of the original founders of the North Bay Heritage Gardeners, said “The gathering place will promote diversity and inclusion, and will benefit community members and visitors of the North Bay Waterfront.”.
