About the course

This webinar is part of the 2026 Conference On-Demand Bundle Series

The Atlantic Science Enterprise Centre is located on the traditional territory of the Mi’kmaq First Nation and occupies the site of the former Collège Notre-Dame d’Acadie (1943), established by the Acadian religious Sisters. This layered history reflects the complexity of place and identity in Atlantic Canada. This session will explore how meaningful Indigenous engagement can extend beyond the architectural design process to shape broader community relationships, narratives of place, and institutional responsibilities. Participants will consider how cultural histories, lived experiences, and reconciliation commitments intersect in the redevelopment of public and scientific infrastructure.

By the completion of this session, participants will be able to:
 
  1. Explain the importance of initiating Indigenous engagement early in the design process.
  2. Recognize the importance of involving all members of the project team in Indigenous and community engagement to support inclusive design that reflects diverse community voices.
  3. Describe different ways that reconciliation can be advanced beyond the physical design of a building.
  4. Apply tools and strategies to support inclusive Indigenous engagement.
