City Heritage Planning Project Shortlisted for International Planning Award

The City of Lethbridge's Traditional Knowledge and Use Assessment (TKUA) study has been selected as one of only 10 projects from across the Commonwealth to be shortlisted for a 2019 Commonwealth Association of Planners Award for Outstanding Planning Achievement in the Commonwealth.

This project, which created the City's first baseline understanding of Indigenous cultural heritage, was the result of an innovative partnership between three Blackfoot Confederacy First Nations of Kainai, Piikani and Siksika, The City of Lethbridge and Arrow Archaeology.

The intention of the project was to enhance planning and decision-making as it relates to Indigenous cultural heritage in Lethbridge, as well as to deepen the City's understanding of Blackfoot land use and culture.

We invite you to watch the TKUA project video to learn more.
