Canada Puts Up Big Bucks in Donation to International Peace Garden

Canada is giving more than $1 million for upgrades at the International Peace Garden.

The aging Errick F. Willis Pavilion will be renovated, the garden’s North Drive will be improved and a wastewater pipeline will be replaced.

The pavilion is named after a former lieutenant governor of Manitoba.

The project is expected to begin later this year and wrap up in fall of 2016.

The garden that straddles the U.S.-Canada border is a tribute to the long-standing peace between the two countries.
