SUMMARY:Placemaking Canada: Cross-Country Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Join Placemaking Canada for a cross-country check-in on placemaking and public space. \nWhat’s going on across Canada? Share your placemaking story\, or attend the session and learn about key public space aspirations\, projects\, and initiatives for 2023. \nPlacemaking is all about transforming public spaces – our plazas\, parks\, streets and civic buildings – into vibrant\, people-friendly places. There is a lot of exciting placemaking work taking place across Canada\, and all sorts of creative folks working to enliven their communities. \nOur February ‘open mic’ event is a chance to check-in and hear from placemakers and public space advocates from across the country. The event will include a few updates on Placemaking Canada (including some exciting ideas for the coming year)… and then it’s over to our open mic presenters to share the latest and greatest on placemaking activities taking place across the country. \nSHARE A STORY\nIf you’d like to present some placemaking news\, please email openmic@vancouverpublicspace.ca to sign-up today! Let us know where you are writing from\, and (very briefly) the details of the public space initiative or aspiration that you want to share. \nREGISTER TO ATTEND\nJust want to listen in? No worries!

You can screen share pictures or powerpoint slides if you like – but these aren’t required. \nABOUT THE AGENDA\nOur aim is to offer a cross-section of initiatives from across the country\, and to help amplify community-based public space initiatives. We will do our best to accommodate as many presenters as possible\, but we reserve the right to curate the final presenters list in order to create a balanced\, inclusive event. \nACCESSIBILITY\nThe event will take place in English. Closed captioning will be available via Zoom real time transcriptions. \nSign up to share a story: openmic@vancouverpublicspace.ca\nRegister to listen: https://bit.ly/40r87ck\nMore info: placemaking-canada.ca

SUMMARY:Not Just Another Climate Summit: A Local Climate Leaders Collaborative
DESCRIPTION:Climate Caucus’ 2023 Summit registration is officially open! You can REGISTER HERE to attend either in person or online. \nThis important annual event brings together local elected leaders from urban and rural communities across Canada to workshop practical local climate solutions. \nFollowing recent local elections in BC\, Manitoba\, Ontario\, PEI\, New Brunswick\, the Northwest Territories\, and the Yukon\, our summit will welcome climate leaders who are newly elected\, re-elected\, and those who have left public office\, but want to share their experience with us. Accordingly\, our keynote speakers\, former Vancouver Councillor\, Andrea Reimer and former Edmonton Mayor\, Don Iveson reflect the value of sharing ideas not only across the country\, but also from one council term to the next.\nOur agenda for this year will leave you feeling re-energized about taking action in your communities. Alongside our session partners\, Community Energy Association\, ICLEI\, and the Co-operators\, we will deliver keynotes\, workshops\, and networking to address emissions reductions\, energy transitions\, and resilience at the local level. Our Hybrid setup will allow participants to experience the same sessions in parallel\, whether they attend in-person or virtually. \nThis event will take place the day prior to BC’s Local Government Leadership Association conference\, which is also at the Radisson Hotel in Richmond BC. We are pleased to announce that we will provide registrants to the Climate Caucus Summit with an access code for group rate tickets to FCM’s Sustainable Communities Conference happening later in the week\, from February 7th-10th\, 2023.
