"It is critical for scholars and municipal policymakers to work to redress these injustices, and to use anti-racist and decolonial approaches to advance equity and social justice in the municipal planning process… I am grateful to be working with my colleagues Drs. Manuel Riemer and Cheryl Teelucksingh on our project which aims to decolonize climate change action in Kitchener by establishing partnerships with some of the City's key municipal planners, as well as Indigenous and Black organizations in the area." Dr. Miguel Sioui, assistant professor, Department of Geography at Laurier and VERiS faculty member
