Caldwell First Nation looks to partner with Parks Canada on new Ojibway National Urban Park

According to the City of Windsor's website, the project is in the pre-feasibility assessment phase, which includes natural and cultural research and analysis, looking at the governance framework, engaging stakeholders and holding public consultations. Duckworth said members held a ceremony at Ojibway Shores Wednesday to honour the Earth. Parks Canada declined an interview with CBC News, because it wants to have Caldwell's voice "amplified on this opportunity over our own."  "It's a very spiritual time when we were out there, we were able to conduct a ceremony and recognize the water, understand the land, see the grandfather rocks that were there and ... we had two songs there," she said.
