Check Out Our New Bus Wrap Inspired by Indigenous Seniors!
Thanks to our recent collaboration with the Edmonton Aboriginal Seniors Centre (EASC) and its members, one of our buses will have a new design this fall! This design was inspired by multiple conversations with Indigenous seniors, as well as EASC staff, as they shared their values and experiences with City staff.
The design on the outside of the bus features vibrant colours and highlights symbolic images, including teepees, sweetgrass and gathering places.
The bus interior highlights the City's collaboration with Edmonton Aboriginal Seniors Centre and the organization’s commitment to preserving knowledge and building relationships with Indigenous seniors.
This bus has entered regular ETS service and will serve routes across the city. This bus will complement the sweetgrass bus wrap that launched in 2022 thanks to a partnership with iHuman and Indigenous youth.
The City of Edmonton and ETS are grateful to the EASC staff and members who were involved on this project. We appreciated listening to your stories and learning from the feedback you provided. We hope the culmination of the work represents a welcoming space for Indigenous Peoples and inspires thoughts and discussion among non-Indigenous and Indigenous people alike about reconciliation and our treaty relationship.
