SUMMARY:Skills for Change Spotlight Series: Reflecting on Anti-Black Racism
DESCRIPTION:“Hundreds demand justice in Minneapolis after police killing of George Floyd” – The Guardian. \nOne headline out of thousands\, all talking about the tragedy that shocked the whole world. The year 2020 marked a watershed moment in the fight against Anti-Black racism. George Floyd’s incident led to protests\, with millions of people demanding an end to systemic racism that the Black community has been facing for over 400 years. With the Black Lives Matter movement gaining momentum\, powerful displays of solidarity were seen around the world\, also highlighting the deeply rooted nature of Anti-Black Racism in our societies. \nUnfortunately\, three years later\, Anti-Black Racism continues to be a pervasive issue in Canada\, and around the world. With incidents such as Ralph Yarl’s\, it is important we reassess our contributions as a community in the ongoing fight against this issue. \nAs such\, we invite you to join us for a panel discussion as we engage in a discussion about Anti-Black racism and critically assess the progress made since 2020. \nJoin the conversation!

SUMMARY:Placemaking: What is it and Why Does it Matter? /  Argumenter en faveur du placemaking: de quoi s’agit-il et pourquoi est-il si important?
DESCRIPTION:Whether picking up litter in the park with a community group\, organizing a public poetry reading on your block\, or enjoying public art in a local shopping area\, placemaking activities help us feel that we belong. Throughout the pandemic\, Canadian communities have experimented with using these types of public space and digital interventions in new ways\, calling on their resourcefulness to enhance mobility\, cultivate a sense of belonging\, and facilitate greater connection to each other. A growing number of municipalities\, nonprofits\, and community groups are now strategically bringing placemaking to the heart of their organizations. But what is placemaking and why is it important to support this work beyond the pandemic? \nRegister now for Building the Case for Placemaking: What is it and Why Does it Matter? happening on Thursday\, May 18\, 2023 @ 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET. This 75-minute session\, hosted by Mitchell Reardan from Happy Cities and Mary Rowe from CUI City Talks\, delves into the well-being impacts of cultivating spaces for public engagement: What are we learning from our experiences over the past three years? Is there a super-power in community-driven change? How can we continue to build support for these incredible efforts? \nFeaturing practitioners from across the country\, this conversation offers an opportunity to hear from people doing the work about the role of public space and digital placemaking interventions in cultivating healthy\, inclusive\, and resilient communities. Register now for this free public webinar! \nClick here to register! \nThe session will take place in English with simultaneous interpretation in French. \n\nQu’il s’agisse de ramasser les déchets d’un parc avec un groupe communautaire\, d’organiser une lecture de poésie publique dans un quartier ou bien encore de faire découvrir des œuvres d’art dans la zone commerciale locale\, les activités de placemaking nous procurent toujours un sentiment d’appartenance. Tout au long de la pandémie\, les communautés canadiennes ont expérimenté de nouvelles façons d’utiliser les espaces publics et les interventions numériques\, mettant à contribution leur ingéniosité pour améliorer la mobilité\, cultiver un sentiment d’appartenance et faciliter l’établissement de liens plus étroits entre les gens. De plus en plus de municipalités\, d’organismes à but non lucratif et de groupes communautaires placent désormais le placemaking au cœur de leur stratégie. Mais qu’est-ce que le placemaking\, exactement\, et pourquoi est-il important de le soutenir au-delà de la pandémie?  \nInscrivez-vous dès maintenant à la conférence « Argumenter en faveur du placemaking: de quoi s’agit-il et pourquoi est-il si important? » Cette présentation aura lieu le jeudi 18 mai 2023 à 10 h HP / 13 h HE. D’une durée de 75 minutes\, elle sera animée par Mitchell Reardan de Happy Cities et Mary Rowe de City Talks pour l’Institut urbain du Canada. Elle abordera l’impact sur le bien-être des citoyens des espaces conçus pour favoriser l’engagement public: Qu’avons-nous appris de nos expériences de ces dernières années? Les changements menés par les communautés elles-mêmes ont-ils un superpouvoir? Comment pouvons-nous soutenir ces formidables initiatives? \nAvec la participation de praticiens de tout le pays\, cette conversation offre l’opportunité de recueillir les témoignages de ceux qui travaillent sur le rôle de l’espace public et des interventions numériques de placemaking pour cultiver des communautés saines\, inclusives et résilientes. Nous espérons que vous vous joindrez à notre conversation sur cet important travail! \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wyQBD7kzSmSRyKanAzrnfw#/registration \nCette séance aura lieu en anglais avec interprétation simultanée en français. \n  \n

SUMMARY:CUI CityTalk: How might office conversions revitalize the post-pandemic city?
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of COVID\, millions of square feet of office space sit empty in cities across North America. CUI’s recent report\, “The Case for Conversions: Understanding opportunities for conversion of office space to housing in Canadian downtowns\,” examines the barriers and opportunities for the adaptive re-use of office space across Canadian cities. As work from home practices persist and office vacancies remain stubbornly elevated in many downtowns\, there is an opportunity to re-imagine how these under-utilized assets could assist in downtown revitalization: bringing people and complementary uses to create more resilient\, diverse and equitable cores. \nJoin our panelists to explore conversions that are underway\, what makes them feasible\, how stakeholders are leveraging office space conversions to create a balance of uses in downtowns\, and what other initiatives need to be considered to revitalize urban cores. \nFeaturing: \nMelissa Román Burch – Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer\, New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYC) \nTracy Hadden Loh – Fellow at Brookings Metro\, Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Center for Transformative Placemaking (Washington D.C.) \nJoe Nickerson – Vice President & Partner\, Sidewalk Real Estate Development (Halifax) \nSteven Paynter – Principal\, Gensler Toronto (Toronto)

SUMMARY:Mobilizer Session: Public Art and its Potential - Reclaiming Underutilized Spaces for People
DESCRIPTION:From street murals to public performance to in-person and online art festivals\, arts-based placemaking has the power to cultivate a sense of belonging and connect people to community. It also has the potential to bridge gaps and break down barriers to creating safe\, accessible\, and people-welcoming environments. \nBuilding on the theme of reclaiming streets for people\, this session explores questions such as: How do we center community stories in the process of artistic interventions? How can arts-based placemaking transform neglected public places (such as laneways\, parking lots\, alleyways\, etc.) into thriving community spaces?  Who might be excluded from these spaces and how can public art initiatives better facilitate their inclusion? \nJoin us on March 16\, 2023 at 1:00pm ET/10:00am PT for Public Art and its Potential: Reclaiming Underutilized Spaces for People. This session will be hosted by Lanrick Bennett Jr. from the Laneway Project in collaboration with the HCI team. Together with Lanrick\, we will hear from practitioners across the country about their experience in facilitating arts-based initiatives – the benefits\, the challenges\, and the important takeaways. Bring your experiences and questions to join us in the discussion! \nRegister here!
