Fight the Power: Redressing Displacement and Building a Just City for Black Lives in Vancouver

SPRE Coordinator — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 23:20:10 +0000

Past and present planning practices impacting Black people in Canada are brought into focus in this master's project that traces Hogan's Alley, a Black community that existed in Vancouver's Strathcona neighbourhood and that was displaced through a series of racially-motivated decisions spanning decades. The project documents the efforts made by the contemporary Black community to seek redress for the past displacement, and how the City of Vancouver reacted to those efforts.

Whose land is it anyway. A manual for Decolonization.

SPRE Coordinator — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 22:55:35 +0000

This book is a collection of essays from Indigenous writers talking about the impacts of colonization on Indigenous people, how they were exploited and had their rights, ways of living and culture suppressed and forbidden, leading to a long list of social problems. It also approaches Indigenous contributions in medicine, architecture and language, among others, and how they did not receive credit for these contributions. The book also explores paths towards decolonization, which could lead to an eventual true reconciliation.

The Toolkit for Health, Arts, Parks and Equity

SPRE Coordinator — Thu, 29 Jul 2021 01:55:45 +0000

This toolkit proposes a strategy to address the structures, institutions, and the determinants that shape health equity. Health equity is understood as everyone's right to fair and just opportunities to be as healthy as possible. It centers the power of parks and open spaces, and arts and culture as conduits for community building. The toolkit shows how they can be used to heal communities, build social capital, and mobilize residents to be agents of change for improving the conditions that impact their health.
