kamâmak nihtâwikihcikan ᑲᒫᒪᐠ ᓂᐦᑖᐃᐧᑭᐦᒋᑲᐣ is now open!

kamâmak nihtâwikihcikan ᑲᒫᒪᐠ  ᓂᐦᑖᐃᐧᑭᐦᒋᑲᐣ is the latest project at Ociciwan. In collaboration with Finding Flowers Project, Ociciwan explores and expands on Mike MacDonald’s work; building a new Butterfly and Medicines garden in the downtown core of amiskwacîwâskahikan. Like Mike MacDonald’s gardens, kamâmak nihtâwikihcikan, is an invitation to co-exist, centering reflection, interaction and care with medicine plants.

The garden is open 24/7 and located at 10146 96 Street, just a few steps north of our building (10124 96 St), next to the Chinese United Church. 

Accessibility notes:  Garden entrance measures 4’ wide. There are no steps but ground is uneven. 6’ of access between planter paths. There is currently no seating or shade in the space. There’s no access to washrooms outside of event hours.

Transit: ETS stops at 96 Street and Jasper Avenue 1 minute walking distance (routes 2, 111, 131), 95 Street and Jasper Avenue 5 minutes walking distance (Routes 1), 100 Street and Jasper Avenue 10 minutes walking distance (Central Station, routes 8, 130X, 150X, 201).
