ZIBI COMMITMENTS

Indigenous Engagement

Zibi is deeply committed to Indigenous engagement, collaborating with the Algonquin-Anishinàbe Peoples to honor their unceded traditional territory. Key initiatives include:

Cultural Integration: Incorporating Algonquin heritage into park and street names, public art, and landscaping.
Memengweshii Council: An Anishinabe women-led advisory council ensuring Indigenous representation and relevance.
Economic Empowerment: Partnering with Algonquin-owned businesses and supporting employment opportunities.
Art and Heritage: Showcasing Indigenous art, like Naomi Blondin’s Water Woman and Karl Chevrier’s Makwa bike racks, throughout the community.

Zibi is setting a new standard for reconciliation by creating a space that respects, celebrates, and integrates Indigenous culture and heritage.

Sustainability

Zibi is building Canada’s most sustainable community using the One Planet Living framework. This approach guides Zibi with ten key principles, including:

Zero Carbon Energy: A District Energy System using waste energy for heating and the Ottawa River for cooling.
Zero Waste: Diverting over 70% of waste through prevention, reuse, recycling, and composting.
Sustainable Transport: Prioritizing bike lanes, walking paths, public transit, and EV charging points.
Sustainable Materials: Reducing unsustainable materials and reusing on-site resources.
Local, Sustainable Food: Urban agriculture and support for local farms to lower the community’s carbon footprint.

Annual peer-reviewed reports track Zibi’s progress toward becoming Canada’s first One Planet Living community.
