2024 BROWNIE AWARD WINNERS
RESTRATEGIZE: Partnerships and Community Engagement
Sp’akw’us Feather Park
– Squamish, B.C.
A JOINT PROJECT led by Matthews West
and the District of Squamish, funding was
provided in part by provincial brown昀椀elds
funding and Green Municipal Fund grants.
The park was designed to promote the
cultural restoration of the area with
signi昀椀cant input, support, and knowledge
sharing from the Squamish First Nation. The
use of the land in this regard required outside
the box thinking to remediate associated
exposures. The order to remediate was implemented
25 years ago and ongoing management has seen
signi昀椀cant reductions in impacts.
Project Team: Matthews West, Stantec, District of
Squamish, and Squamish Nation.
