"This sundial is about history and identity," says mayor Len Simpson. "It combines 10,000 years of history with our more recent heritage of energy research and a continuing technological emphasis with our new technology companies ..."

The sundial was built with recycled and local materials, technology and labour, and underscored the tremendous level of volunteer spirit in the community. Barb Sabanski acknowledged the support of all those who contributed both time and money, and lauded her husband's efforts, without whose experise and vision the project surely would not have come to pass. His dedication wasmet with resounding cheers from the audience.

Congratulations to all!

"If you think you can, you can," says Barb Sabanski, and she and her husband Carl put some truth to that when they very happily took part in the unveiling and dedication of the Pinawa Heritage Sundial. A good-sized crowd was on hand Saturday afternoon to hear speeches and good wished from federal, provincial and local politicians, and to enjoy a very special moment in Pinawa's history. Barb read a letter from the Deputy Prime Minister Herb Grey, who called the sundial "a legacy for future generations."
