International Friendship Gardens

Celebrate Culture and Community

 

Initiated by the Soroptimist Club of Fort William–Port Arthur, this 15-acre park is a peaceful and inspiring space that honours the city’s multicultural heritage.

As you explore the grounds, you’ll discover 18 distinctive monuments, each representing a different ethnic group that has contributed to the fabric of the community. Man-made ponds, shaded walking trails, and quiet benches invite you to reflect on stories of immigration, resilience, and friendship—woven together in one of Thunder Bay’s most beloved green spaces.
