First Nations Planning and Communication: managing and presenting complex data

Provinces have been mandated to consult with First Nations on a broad spectrum of

planning issues in the last decade. First Nations engaging in these processes should be

empowered with an array of communication tools that (a) enable their decision-making, and

(b) enhance their capacity to communicate their values, suggestions or concerns. The

purpose of this study is to evaluate and apply communication tools for inclusive community

planning processes and local economic development. More specifically, already

collected video interviews, digitized archival documents, photos and geo-data for two

Aboriginal communities will be published in interactive digital formats to reflect community

priorities. To develop the most appropriate digital format, the intern will work with the EPI

team to identify the main communication needs over a variety of

stages in the planning process. Also, Formats such as maps, films, interactive digital formats,

and charrettes being used in a planning context will be evaluated.
