The Living Local Neighbourhood Arts & Heritage Grant (administered by the Edmonton Heritage Council, Edmonton Arts Council, and Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues) funded approximately two-thirds of the project costs, with the other portion covered by the FPCL general account.

Indigenous Elders and urban Indigenous community members approached City Council to consider renaming Edmonton’s newly amended wards with Indigenous names. On June 16, 2020, Council directed the administration and the Naming Committee of Council to explore new Indigenous names.
Edmonton has been a gathering place for Indigenous Peoples for thousands of years. iyiniw iskwewak wihtwawin (the committee of Indigenous matriarchs) have gifted traditional names to the City’s naming committee to honour these sacred places in Edmonton and to preserve the history for future generations. We thank iyiniw iskwewak wihtwawin for choosing our name, Ward Metis, and sharing our community's deep roots to the history of Edmonton.
