| There
are twelve main icons that surround the base of
the Pinawa Heritage Sundial. They are intended to
illustrate the history of the Eastern Manitoba
region as well as important factors which played
a role in the development of the area. Two
additional icons consisting of two granite tiles
each finish off the base on the left and right
sides. Another four granite tiles make up the
central medallion surrounding a portion of the
gnomon. Elements from
the granite icon tiles are echoed in the gnomon.
This unifies the major elements of the sundial
making it a visually appealing structure and more
interesting to visitors.

icons as well as the additional ones. The icons
do not follow a chronological order in their
layout on the sundial. They are presented in the
order that they are placed on the dial from the
left with the three additional icons presented
last. Please take the
time to visit these pages and discover the
meaning behind the Pinawa Heritage Sundial.
