Today, the City of Owen Sound officially dedicated the Giche-name-wiikwedong Bridge and unveiled a commemorative and an interpretive plaque.

In September 2019, the 110-year-old Bridge was closed for complete reconstruction and infrastructure replacement.

On September 14, 2020, Susan Staves Schank made a formal request to Council to dedicate the new bridge on 10th Street as the Giche-name-wiikwedong Bridge which means Great Sturgeon Bay.

Mayor and Council were joined by Chief Lester Anoquot from Saugeen First Nation, Chief Greg Nadjiwon from Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation, Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Bill Walker, the City Manager, and staff and some invited guests and selected media.

Rogers was invited to cover the event, and their video is available here.
