Thunder Bay Soroptimist International Friendship Garden

Thunder Bay Soroptimist International Friendship Garden, Park in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

The Thunder Bay Soroptimist International Friendship Garden is a 15-acre park at the south end of Chapples Park, at Victoria Avenue and Hyde Park Avenue in Thunder Bay's south end. It holds man-made ponds, floral displays, picnic tables, benches and walking trails, along with monuments representing eighteen ethnic groups of the Thunder Bay area.

The garden was organised in 1967 as a Centennial gift by the Soroptimist Club of Fort William-Port Arthur, the twin cities that merged into Thunder Bay in 1970. It occupies the south end of Chapples Park, at Victoria Avenue and Hyde Park Avenue, and was laid out with monuments to eighteen ethnic groups of the area.

The garden displays monuments representing eighteen ethnic communities in Thunder Bay, including Chinese, Croatian, Dutch, and Finnish groups. Each monument reflects the cultural diversity that has shaped the city.

The garden sits at the south end of Chapples Park, at the corners of Victoria Avenue and Hyde Park Avenue in Thunder Bay's south end. Its 15-acre grounds hold man-made ponds, floral displays, picnic tables, benches and walking trails, so allow time to walk between the monuments of the eighteen ethnic groups.

The garden's name reflects the international Soroptimist movement, an organization focused on women's rights and community projects. This connection highlights the site's commitment to social responsibility and community building.
