Dedicated to recognize the St. Catharines Rotary in supporting Walker School's construction (a donation of $100,000). Collaboration of various people including: Scott Roper, David Vivian (Brock), Merit Contractors, Stevensville Lawn Service, Elizabeth Chitty (artist, consulted on geography and history research), Ken Robertson (blacksmith, Fenwick, created metal grates). The grate consists of a series of panels set at different angles, representing the hillsides of the Walker School’s valley setting.
