Canada - Residential School Survivor Memorial Garden Feasibility Study

Description

The Residential School Survivor Memorial Garden is an important spiritual and land based healing project for our people to heal from the intergenerational harm that continues to impact our people through being forced to attend residential schools.  This project is being championed and overseen by Andrea Aleck, TWN Health Director and TWN member.   Over a year ago Andrea began conversations with TWN Survivors of residential school.  The project began by asking Elders permission to create a space to honour residential school survivors and those who never returned.  A garden to remember residential school survivor’s experiences, honour their resilience and to imagine a positive future for survivors, their families and the TWN Community. Elders and Chief and Council not only gave their permission but highlighted this as a very important cultural and spiritual healing TWN project.TWN is searching for a Landscape Architect Firm to lead the development of a culturally sensitive approach to complete a Feasibility Report, Conceptual Plan and Class D Cost Estimate for a Residential School Survivor Memorial Garden.
