Nestled on Bitimagamasing, the traditional lands of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek, the Winter Station provides wind shelter along a frequented skating path. Offering a space for the community to change, chat, and bond in severe cold.
The station is crafted exclusively with hand tools and wood joints and uses wood from a nearby local producer. The Winter Station is designed to gracefully sink into the lake and break up as spring arrives, embracing a natural degradation process in harmony with the changing seasons.
