Sailcloths
The sailcloths outside the Enwayaang building represent the colours of the medicine wheel and symbolize the collaborative spirit of Gzowski College and our many partners, including the First Peoples House of Learning.
These sailcloths provide shade for outdoor student activities and offer a place to gather safely, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.
