    DECOLONIZING ARCHITECTURE: STORIES FROM THE CANADIAN NORTH by William Semple A thesis submitted in partial fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Human Ecology University of Alberta © William Semple, 2020 ABSTRACT This is the story of nearly thirty years of my work where I aimed to support the creation of culturally appro- priate architecture and the promotion of sustainable building practices. Much of this work was directed towards the development of culturally appropriate, energy efcient housing in the Canadian north, car- ried out in collaboration and direct consultation with Indigenous communities. My story is entangled with the stories of fve northern communities in Canada, one northern community in the USA, and a Tibetan refugee community in India. This story is written as a self-refection that is deeply personal and is intend- ed to lead towards better understandings of the processes of creating housing with communities through something I call ‘decolonizing architecture’. My story is a kind of auto-ethnography, written from the per- spectives of white privilege, human ecology, and architectural design. This work takes a practice-based approach where, as a son within an immigrant family, an advocate, a builder, an architect, and a person who lives within Canadian society, I refect upon my own practices. To make sense of my story I refect upon typical Western ways of practicing architecture and turn to the principles used and promoted by Indigenous scholars when working in their own communities to advance ideas on how architecture can be practiced diferently. The decolonized approach I propose is partially a response to the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, but also a means to de-centering euro-western ways that architects typically use.

  • Northwest Territories Community Wellness in Action: 1999-2000 Summary Report of Community Wellness Initiatives
    Northwest Territories Community Wellness in Action: 1999-2000 Summary Report of Community Wellness Initiatives March 2001 Community Wellness in Action 1999/2000 Minister's Opening Remarks I would like to offer my congratulations to NWT communities on the success of their community wellness programs in 1999/2000. This document outlines these community-based prevention and promotion initiatives, and provides an overview of projects so that communities can take pride in their work and share their success stories. Many communities showed ingenuity by combining funds from various sources to support large initiatives. Communities continue to work to effect change in important areas, including early childhood development, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome/Effect prevention, and community mental health. Despite the challenges that often accompany development and integration of programs, communities rose to the challenge by integrating programs to create meaningful change.This kind of resourcefulness is commendable and will continue to be important as we look to the future. I encourage communities and governments to continue working together to address the social issues that effect the well being of our children, families, and communities. We look forward to continuing to support this partnership in the future. Honourable Jane Groenewegen Minister, Health and Social Services Executive Summary Healthy people building healthy communities was the vision shared by many organizations who undertook community wellness initiatives throughout the Northwest Territories in 1999/2000. More than $6 million in community wellness funds were accessed to help communities provide support for and increase awareness of the importance of healthy families and healthy communities. With the emphasis on communities identifying their own issues and solutions, many communities put their energy into programs involving early childhood development, FAS/FAE and community mental health.
