Indigenous artwork unveiled on Police Academy vehicles
The Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) Police Academy unveiled new Indigenous artwork on its fleet of training vehicles recently, a visual representation of the Institute and academy’s commitment to Indigenization.
xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) artist Kamryn Sparrow was commissioned to create the artwork as part of JIBC’s strategic plan commitment to living Indigenous ways of thinking, being, relating and doing. A key strategy of this commitment is to ensure campuses include high-visibility art and items symbolizing our commitment to Indigenous education.
