The years-long transformation of our Indigenous Healing Garden. 🌿

See the garden’s evolution in photos, from before construction through its development to the welcoming campus space officially opened last week.

Creating the garden was one of Emmanuel College Principal HyeRan Kim-Cragg’s first priorities when she began her role in 2022. Rooted in a commitment to truth and reconciliation, the garden offers a place to connect, learn and reflect.

As Kim-Cragg said, “May it be a place of rest, delight, and healing for all who spend time in it from this day on.”
