On the northeast nook of Jasper Avenue and 105 Road, you’ll discover a cute little park nestled in downtown Edmonton. If you first come into the park, you’ll discover hand prints alongside the bottom. These handprints create a stroll of honour, a tribute to Indigenous success, referred to as the Aboriginal Stroll of Honour. It acknowledges Indigenous effort and onerous work of Indigenous peoples bringing new understanding, language, traditions and tradition in Canada.
This park offers homage to Edmonton’s conventional name- Amiskwaciy Waskahikan, which means Beaver Hills Home. Edmonton was named this lengthy earlier than the arrival of settlers. It was given this identify for the big hills you see when standing on the southern financial institution of the North Saskatchewan River, the place the legislature grounds now sit. Within the park, you’ll discover stunning water parts, and slightly Amisk (beaver) close to the waterfall to say hello to!
