City archives adds Indigenous Recognition Wall

THUNDER BAY - A new recognition wall at the City of Thunder Bay’s archives recognizing Indigenous people and traditions is meant to make the space welcoming and inclusive to all residents.

Former city archivist Matt Szybalski, who retired this past summer, said the mural became near and dear to him before he left the position. “It comes from the heart. That was advice that one of the assistant directors of the National Archives had told me when looking for ways to enact the recommendations of Truth and Reconciliation, to make sure you do it from the heart.”

“I learned more from the [city's] Aboriginal Liaison Office than I did from any history professor,” he said.
