Kitselas First Nation World Café and Visual Recording
Kitselas First Nation Chief and Council identified housing in the Kitselas community as a top priority. To assist in establishing a vision and goals for housing, our team facilitated a series of engagement opportunities for community members and staff. In November 2019, we held workshops for staff and Elders and hosted a world café engagement that was open to all community members.
Each workshop started with a presentation that included a review of the BC Housing Indigenous Housing Funding Program, the community survey results and the draft needs assessment. Following the presentations, representatives from BC Housing and DNA answered questions regarding the funding, the projects and housing design. These conversations were recorded in the graphic facilitation.
The world café was well attended and allowed participants to provide their thoughts on energy efficiency, housing type and design, project goals and site planning. We also worked with the children in attendance at the world café to identify their vision for housing in the Kitselas community.
