Indigenous Justice Centres: Exploring Spatial Justice in an Urban Context

This webinar is part of the RAIC 2024 Conference on Architecture, now available to stream!

Topics: Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Social Justice

Length: 1 hour | What's Included: Video, Quiz, and Certificate of Completion 

Created in 2016 by the BC Assembly of First Nations, the First Nations Summit, and the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, the BC First Nations Justice Council was issued a clear two-pronged mandate by the First Nations in BC: the first, to challenge traditional approaches and structures that directly contribute to the gross over-representation of incarcerated First Nations men and women and First Nations children in government care. The Second, to actively and productively engage with government bodies to promote and advance strategies that will achieve better, more healed outcomes for Indigenous people in the justice system. 

Reimagine Gathering was commissioned to provide project management consulting services to support five new Regional Indigenous Justice Centres (RIJCs). This session will explore how the new RIJCs - and space as a larger context - can foster true reconciliation efforts and steps towards restorative justice while becoming a lasting, resilience-promoting legacy for the communities they serve.

 

By the completion of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss trauma-informed design
  • Implement urban design strategies for Indigenous Peoples
  • Explain spatial justice
  • Recognize artist inclusion in design spaces

Subject Matter Expert:

Tiffany Shaw
Architect AAA, AIBC, MRAIC, M.Arch., BFA
Architect, Reimagine Architects Ltd.

Tiffany Shaw was raised in amiskwacîwâskahikan (Edmonton) within Treaty 6 Territory and Métis Nation of Alberta North Saskatchewan River Territory. Tiffany’s Métis lineage derives from Fort McMurray via Fort McKay and the Red River and is a citizen of the Métis Nation of Alberta. Tiffany founded Reimagine Gathering Ltd. in 2022 in a response to bridge the disproportionate gap across Canada between Indigenous engagement and design. Tiffany believes in the power of listening to the land and the perseverance of Indigenous women’s work. She works to consider sustainable community planning and how best to dismantle barriers for communities in regards to building materials, procurement, and fiscally responsible operations and maintenance plans that consider growth and legacy for the communities she works alongside. Seeking to engage methods of motherhood and caregiving into workplace practice, her work forms a cohesive narrative between past, present, and future concepts, that reflect the hearts and minds of the groups she collaborates with.
