THAT the Wood Buffalo Waterfront Advisory Committee and Administration expand the scope of the Waterfront Park Project to celebrate our rich Indigenous history and cultures by creating connectivity through upgrades, placemaking, and markers from the location of the new Métis Cultural Centre through MacDonald Island Park’s TOTAL Aboriginal Interpretative Trails to the Fort McMurray Marine Park for the purposes of tourism development, active transportation, but most importantly, reconciliation and education. This process would include engagement with all regional Indigenous communities.
