Gamiing Nature Centre


Welcome to Gamiing


Gamiing, A Place For All Seasons

 

Whether it is the Sound of Silence, 

the Rush of Water,

the Crackle of Leaves,

or the Crunch of Snow under foot,

Gamiing is truly a place for all seasons,

a magical place.

 

It is a place where Ojibwa people lived,

hunted and gathered food,

and used canoes as their means of transportation.

 

The name GAMIING was chosen to honour

those who lived here before us.

GAMIING, pronounced gaa-'min-j,

means "at the shore",

the place where land and water meet.

 

THIS WE KNOW:

Earth does not belong to us; We belong to the Earth

All things are interconnected.  The Earth is out mother.

Whatever happens to the Earth happens to us.

      - Chief Seattle

 

"In every deliberation we must consider the impact

of our decisions on the next seven generations."

     - Traditional Iroquois Declaration
