Time: 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM
This webinar provides a step-by-step approach to meaningful and effective collaboration with Indigenous entities in shared initiatives.
Invite Indigenous perspectives that enrich our built environment and deepen regional connections; support Indigenous agency in decisions affecting our territories; enhance well-being by strengthening long term relationships between people and place.
We will also review the Centennial College A-Block Expansion in Scarborough Ontario which suggests how you can follow a careful process to imbed Indigenous perspectives early. A layered spatial narrative honours regional history, celebrates Indigenous presence into the future, and welcomes all cultures.
Learning Objectives:
1)
Honour regional Indigenous protocols and dynamics when undertaking engagement.
2)
Strengthen relationships during design that extend through the life of the project.
3)
Enrich built environments by reconnecting with knowledge from time immemorial.
4)
Enhance wellness by re-establishing connections between people and place.
