Built as a millennium commemorative project, this sundial was designed by Pinawa resident Carl Sabanski and unveiled on 14 July 2001. It is designed specifically for the latitude and longitude of the site, incorporating twelve heritage icons depicting the Eastman region, themes of the First Peoples, La Vérendrye, fur trade, development of hydroelectric power, industry, research, and others. The structure teaches visitors how one of the world’s oldest timepieces is used to tell time.
