for us to learn from our friends at the IKWC about the history of this site and have an opportunity to participate in a ceremony led by local elders. It’s exciting to get a sense of how the site will be enjoyed by Indigenous people, as well as be a welcoming learning place for those of us who aren’t Indigenous.”

Deboski adds that one of the major focuses on this project was ensuring that Indigenous people had a major role in constructing the project, and that Indigenous-owned businesses were aware of this project and had an opportunity to bid and perform services on the project where possible.

To help overcome challenges on this impressive project, he said a number of strategies were at work.

All carpentry and labour personnel on the project—for Delnor Construction and the subcontractors—were connected through Spirit Staffing.

“This helped us connect with an excellent workforce and resulted in more than 50 per cent of the workers onsite identifying as Indigenous,” said Deboski. “Our supply chain was notified of this unique project, and we encouraged Indigenous-owned businesses to bid on the work. As a result, 25 per cent of the subcontractors on the project had Indigenous ownership and/or employment of Indigenous personnel.”

He added that his team was hopeful that this project could also be an opportunity for those who aren’t Indigenous to learn about Indigenous history and culture within their own city.

To help overcome challenges on this impressive project, Deboski said a number of strategies were at work.

There were several elements that helped this to happen including an orientation video produced by Hunter Cardinal of Naheyawin describing the history of treaty and the impact and significance of this project. All workers on-site watched this video prior to commencing any work.

As a thank you to those that did the work of building on-site, a very meaningful smudge and gift giving ceremony occurred where elders thanked and blessed each project participant one by one.

“I’ve never seen anything so personal occur on a construction site before,” said Deboski. “It’s safe to say that everyone who had a role in the kihcihkaw askî project is proud and grateful to have been a part of such a special project.” u
