Indigenous influences
Culture. Connection. Belonging.
Honouring place: a shared space, continuing to celebrate.

Explore how the four elements influence project concepts as outlined in the design brief.
-
Fire
Symbolizes life, warmth and renewal.
-
Water
Represents purity, life-giving substances and the flow of knowledge.
-
Land
Stands for stability, grounding and the connection to ancestral lands.
-
Air
Signifies breath and spirit. It connects unseen forces that guide and unite all beings.
Designed to welcome all
Greetings and welcome messages in Indigenous languages will be featured, reminding everyone that there is space for you at Scotia Place.
