A portion of Victoria Park will be fenced off through Friday while a piece of artwork is installed as one of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
“The Coming Spring” is a 27-foot tall arch with two spires pointing north and south, symbolically representing the long histories of the First nations and the Metis Nation.
Each spire has chimes that will move in the wind.
The work was commissioned by the Saskatoon Tribal Council and the City, with funding from the federal government.
While the installation is happening, Victoria Park near Spadina Crescent West, between Avenues D and E South will be fenced off.
The unveiling ceremony is June 20th.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
