First Nations
First Nations involvement is integral to the overall success
of Dockside Green and our goal of achieving a balanced triple bottom line. The
First Nations people lived sustainably on the Dockside Green land for over a
millennium and out of respect for this ancestral heritage and a desire to forge
a strong, new working relationship, we feel a First Nations partnership is
essential.
Some of the initiatives currently underway are:
- Commissioned and selected various
pieces of art from a First Nations artist to be used on manhole covers, path
stones and site signage. A totem pole has been commissioned for the site.
- Commissioned a public art piece
- Commenced a process of researching historical photographs of First Nations involement on site
- Job training program
