Greetings, Aanii, Boozhoo, Tánishi, Ndio!/ Kwe!, Sekoh,
I’m Susan, the Principal Planner of People Plan Community.
I’m a French-speaking Scottish/Irish Canadian, born and raised in Anishinaabe territory. As the Principal Planner of People Plan Community, my goal is to build meaningful relations between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous peoples through Treaty place-knowing and environmental initiatives, for a better future together.
With over 20 years experience in watershed planning, community engagement and Indigenous relations, I believe in advancing Treaty relations through respectful collaboration. I am a Member of the Canadian Institute of Planners and a Registered Professional Planner in Ontario. In recent years, I have completed training in Duty to Consult and Accommodate and with Indigenous Corporate Training Inc. and circle workshop facilitation training with Jennifer Ball. Notable projects I’ve received awards for include the restoration of the Historic Council House at the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Shared Path/Le Sentier Partagé, the Credit Valley Trail Strategy, and the Credit Valley Trail Indigenous Experience Plan.
