The Rotary Club of Kenora is now halfway towards their fundraising goal for their Rotary Peace Park in partnership with the City of Kenora and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Transgender, 2 Spirit+ Ontario Committee.
Community members have raised nearly 55 thousand dollars so far and Kenora members spoke with the Rotary Club of Dryden at their virtual meeting Wednesday about the ongoing project.
Kelly Williams explains the park is an effort towards reconciliation and combating racism against Indigenous people in Kenora.
“It’s been coming more and more to the forefront and we just felt that this was a good time for us to show leadership within Kenora to do what we could to build peace. The City agreed and the committee decided that they wanted to join us and place on the two memorials that are going to be in Ontario at our Peace Park.”
