I. PURPOSE OF RFP The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority invites qualified Architectural/Engineering firms/individuals to submit proposals for the Detailed Design and Construction Supervision of the Indigenous Community Education Centre and the Revitalization of the Longwoods Road Resource Centre and Ska-Nah-Doht Museum.

II. BACKGROUND The Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority is one of the 36 Conservation Authorities in Ontario. It has jurisdiction over watersheds of all streams draining into the Thames River from Delaware to Lake St. Clair. The Southern boundary includes the watersheds of streams draining into Lake Erie, from the Talbot Creek watershed in the east, to the Two Creeks watershed in the west. Total area 3,275 square kilometres (1,264 square miles) and is home to 99,401 people. There are 10 member municipalities.

Our Vision…for a balanced and healthy watershed.

Our Mission...Leading by example in environmental protection in partnership with the community.

Our Core Values...Respect, integrity, commitment, objectivity, and collaboration.

By definition, conservation is “the wise management and use of natural resources”, primarily renewable natural resources including water, soil, vegetation and wildlife.

We are governed by a board of directors, have 25 full time staff and many seasonal employees.

To complete this project we will be led by our CAO-Secretary Treasurer- Mark Peacock P.Eng., who has many years of experience implementing large million dollar environmental and construction projects. Support staff include: Manager of Conservation Lands and Services, Eastern District Supervisor, Ska-Nah- Doht Village Curator and Manager of Communications and Education, for a combined; 80 plus years of experience on similar large scale projects.

The LTVCA conducted a Feasibility Study in 2019 for the Longwoods Resource Centre. Through this consultation process, we reached out to our Indigenous neighbours, surveyed the public and conducted presentations to our Board of Directors and other community groups to engage surrounding stakeholder's interest in the project. The results of the feasibility study indicate that the current facility is dated, needs an upgrade, and suggests several options for the future.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Our project will create an Indigenous Community Education Centre addition to our Longwoods Road Resource Centre Museum. Local schools/groups/families and tourists from around the world experience our environment through a unique blend of programs combining traditional ecological knowledge and western science. Additionally, the project will revitalize the Longwoods Road Resource Centre Museum. The revitalization will include the repurposing/reconstruction of existing building spaces into a kitchen and wheel chair accessible washroom to service the addition, and restoration of the existing building with new windows, siding, HVAC and roofing.

With an addition of a Community meeting space, groups can collaborate on new environmental initiatives. It will provide a welcoming area for people to learn about the past and better communicate towards future endeavours. In the Lower Thames watershed, there are 4 Indigenous communities local to the Longwood Conservation Area: Oneida Nation of the Thames, Munsee-Delaware Nation, Chippewas of the Thames First Nation and Delaware Nation. The proposed Indigenous Community Education Centre will be unique to Southern Ontario and provide an inclusive space for the public, staff and our Indigenous partners to gather, share and learn.

The addition of an Indigenous Community Education Centre will improve the existing Museum space with a unique, multipurpose facility in high demand for gatherings, weddings, seminars, education programs, meetings, symposiums and special Indigenous events. This was a need highlighted in the Feasibility Study. Events will be expanded/introduced to this new indoor space. More programming and attracting newcomers and Indigenous communities is priority. The addition will allow for such expansion and invite groups to experience Longwoods Road Conservation Area and the Ska-Nah-Doht Village. Youth groups and day camp programming will grow. Digital presentations, guest speakers on current environmental and Indigenous subjects will be welcomed. More people will be engaged on the history and culture of the area through new activities involving Indigenous art, dance and music staged inside the new facility. The addition will be promoted and advertised as a unique event venue that can be coupled with onsite programming. There will be access to the outdoors to allow transition easily to nature.

3.1 Location Description Property Address Description: Longwoods Road Conservation Area located at 8449 Irish Drive, RR#1, Mount Brydges, Ontario, N0L 1W0

Longwoods Road Conservation Area Features: Ska-Nah-Doht Village is the key feature situated within the Longwoods Road Conservation Area. Three heritage log cabins are also found onsite. A Resource Centre/Museum houses artifact and conservation displays, the Turtle Trail Gift Shop, and theatres for video presentations. Additional facilities include a large picnic shelter and a group camping area for Scouts and Guides. Ten kilometres of nature trails (some wheelchair accessible) meander through the forested areas and ravine systems, with boardwalks, staircases and bridges showcasing beautiful views along the way.
