Outreach to First Nations High School Students
Urban Water 91影视 engaging students in TRCA's Bolton Camp
Initiated and co-led by Urban Water 91影视 Advisory Board member Sheila Boudreau, the Urban Water 91影视 Office contributed to a successful award from the Canadian Landscape Architecture Foundation for a project called: 鈥業ncluding the Voice of Indigenous Youth in Green Infrastructure鈥�, now named 鈥楴ikibii Dawadinna Giigwag鈥�, meaning 鈥楩looded Valley Healing鈥檌n Anishinaabemowin (Manitoulin dialect)
The project engaged Toronto Indigenous youth from different high schools to participate in green infrastructure activities, primarily at Bolton Camp (Toronto and Region Conservation Authority), and the Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design (University of Toronto). This work involved reimagining Bolton Camp to include a conceptual design for an Elder/ Indigenous teachings cabin and landscape, which the 2019 program will progress to detailed design.
