Happy Black History Month! Go read this article I wrote!! This piece required a lot of research and many conversations with Black elders and for that I’m very proud of it. ✊🏾🤍
"By the 1960s, Black communities in the Prairies and Vancouver had created tight-knit communities and Vie’s, Hatti’s, and Haynes were at the heart of them." @KylaShellan writes about the history and reclamation of Black community spaces. Read more: https://t.co/94hUHm2ZZM

I worked with an amazing consulting team to plan this engagement process. We had a renaming committee made up of board members, community residents, community leaders and Elders. We did public mail outs, pop ups, online surveys, and engaged local students. Proud of this work.
A new name for Oliver. Wîhkwêntôwin - A Circle of Friends. Elders Jerry and Jo-Ann Saddleback share the pronunciation. #yeg #reconcilation

Canada has made big commitments to Indigenous-led conservation initiatives meant protect culturally and ecologically irreplaceable ecosystems. What do those promises mean if they’re destined to burn? My latest for @thenarwhalca: https://t.co/fGIZufja8e

Not me just realizing my photo is on the cover of the book 🤡 I took this photo in typical Kyla fashion, rushing between two events. As I made my way down 97th, I slowed down and *carefully* held my camera out the window of my car and took the shot.
