On Friday, September 29th, students and staff from G.C. Huston school in Southampton will join Elders from Saugeen First Nation on the Zgaa-biig-ni-gan Bridge to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, along with members of Council and residents of both Saugeen Shores and Saugeen First Nation.
The bridge will be CLOSED from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday for this important community event. Emergency vehicles will still have access. The Ministry of Transportation has been notified and has provided consent for the closure.
We also ask motorists to watch for a significantly increased number of pedestrians in areas around the bridge before and after the ceremony. Those who need to cross the Saugeen River during this three-hour period can use the route shown below.
The Town apologizes for the temporary inconvenience and asks for everyone’s patience to facilitate this important event.
