  Office of the Independent Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves

  • Advisor

    • Oct 2023 - Dec 2023

    - Consulted the Office of the Independent Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites associated with Indian Residential Schools on Canadian monuments and their colonial significance in 2023. This commitment entails a report on the state of Canadian memorial sites, and specifically demands an analysis of the controversial Macdonald Monument, Canada Place, Montreal. This follows with a reflection on how urban planners and designers can follow a trauma-informed planning approach for dealing with Canadian colonialism and supporting Indigenous persons through the difficult process.
