KÌWEKÌ POINT REDEVELOPMENT'S INTERPRETATION
VIA ZOOM
The recently completed Kìwekì Point is a signature public realm landscape for the National Capital Commission. The project began with the ambitious goal to reconnect the park with the Ottawa River and transform the pedestrian experience within the National Capital Region. This award-winning Big River Landscape is a powerful public space that honours Algonquin heritage and celebrates the relationship between people, place, and story guided by the Ottawa River.
