William Commanda’s dream was to build a national Aboriginal centre on Victoria Island, just minutes away from downtown Ottawa.
The island is a historical meeting place for First Nations and Commanda had hoped to have it designated as a national historic site.
Ottawa NDP MP Paul Dewar has been a supporter of Commanda’s work.
Dewar says there’s no guarantee that Commanda’s dream will become a reality, but he’s working on it.
