1.3.1 Create partnerships to support Indigenous land management
Description: Through partnerships with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, rightsholders, and City stakeholders, develop the scope, process, and partnership opportunities for a Traditional Land Use and Knowledge Assessment of the city.
Status: Engagement and relationship building with Indigenous communities was carried out as a preliminary step to the Traditional Land Use and Knowledge Assessment project and formalization of the work scope and plan occurred.
Feedback from Indigenous communities in 2023 indicated that it would not be appropriate for the City to lead a Traditional Land Use and Knowledge Assessment (TLUKA). Rather, it would be up to communities to lead this work. As a result, the project was renamed "Indigenous Land Use Foundations" and work shifted to identifying opportunities for the City to support and honour rightsholders in place-knowing initiatives, especially if communities choose to share TLUKA information with the City in future. A technical report with recommendations was drafted and presented internally in 2026.
Green Pathways Timeline: Development to start in 2022. Operationalize between 2028-2031.
