Acknowledging the history of the site in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and traditional lands of the Mi’kmaq people, our consulting team was focused on leading a welcoming, culturally appropriate engagement process to help: identify stories, cultural elements, and placemaking features to prioritize with the District.

Elkplan helped to deliver an engagement program and develop placemaking concepts, along with a comprehensive strategy for the Abbotsford Downtown Business Association.

We were tasked with designing five posters featuring custom illustrations for a series of community planning guideline documents for Kitsumkalum.

Using visual tools, we gathered feedback from local residents about a new park, with a special emphasis on ideas from Indigenous residents.
