VIResident posted topic City of Victoria BC - Reconciliation

lpoutine,

VIResident has just posted a new topic entitled "City of Victoria BC - Reconciliation" in forum "Victoria Politics".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This new topic is all things reconciliation in the City of Victoria


Perhaps the City of Victoria Reconciliation efforts needs its own thread?
Perhaps we can all contribute to help reconciliation by being frank about what the City is undertaking, or suggestions to that end.

Snippets from today's news (Dec. 30/18) Times Colonist

"A Victoria city committee — called the city family and made up of Indigenous and non-Indigenous members — was appointed in June 2017 to address reconciliation efforts."

"I know the original action was unsettling and it should be," Helps said. "Reconciliation isn't easy — if it feels easy, it's not reconciliation. "So there will probably be some more unsettling conversations and unsettling moments along the way over these next four years."
"The whole city is their territory, so that will be an interesting conversation."
"Indigenous people for centuries have stewarded natural areas," she said.
"We have a parks department and they are currently in charge and maybe we need to look at what co-governance of natural areas of the city would look like."She is hopeful there will be a different kind of dialogue and tone in the new year around reconciliation and the moving of Macdonald's statue.
"Interestingly, the majority of the Indigenous members of the city family strongly feel the statue should go somewhere — the where to be determined."

laconic posted topic Laurel Point Park remediation

lpoutine,

laconic has just posted a new topic entitled "Laurel Point Park remediation" in forum "Urban Issues".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
They're very busy doing the remediation. All the trees were cleared a few weeks ago. Piles were driven to hold two barges in place. One barge is pinned between piles and anchored to the shore. A second barge abuts the anchored one. Trucks dump soil at the end of the anchored barge. An excavator transfers the soil to the middle of the movable barge. A front end loader on the barge distributes the soil out toward either end.

A crane and barge have been positioned at the east side of the site. It isn't clear to me if it will be used in a similar setup as the west side of the site.
