Webinaire: Prendre la mesure des iniquités territoriales pour repenser l’aménagement
2023-02-22 12:00 - 13:30 UTC | Zoom (Registration Required)
L’aménagement des milieux de vie a une influence majeure sur la santé, la qualité de vie et les possibilités d’épanouissement des populations qui y résident. Ainsi, les choix urbanistiques peuvent atténuer ou, au contraire, perpétuer, voire aggraver les inégalités sociales.
Ce webinaire se veut une introduction à la vaste question du rôle potentiel de l’aménagement de nos milieux de vie en faveur de l’équité et l’inclusion. Les interventions de trois panélistes initieront l’auditoire à trois dimensions de cette problématique, soit:
Le rôle de la pénurie de logements dans la création des iniquités territoriales et les dynamiques qui créent cette pénurie;
L’impact des transformations urbaines sur les inégalités sociales de santé;
Le processus de participation citoyenne et le travail avec les populations en situation de vulnérabilité.
Une période d’échange entre les panélistes et l’auditoire clôturera la séance.

Panel Discussion on Black-Led Community Space
2023-02-23 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | Innis Town Hall Theatre, 2 Sussex Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 1J5, Canada
In December 2022, The Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation, in partnership with the Infrastructure Institute at the University of Toronto, released a report entitled, Inhibited Growth: Examining Public Investment Gaps in Black Infrastructure Needs. This report examines the gaps in public investment and access to Black-led social infrastructure that integrates community centres, recreational spaces, and cultural hubs across the City of Toronto. Black communities across the city have faced persistent public disinvestment in their infrastructure needs, such as inadequate access to city services, recreational amenities, and community hubs in areas with higher proportions of Black residents.
Please join us in person or online for this conversation featuring Isaac Olowolafe Jr. of the Dream Legacy Foundation, Amina Mohamed of the Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation, and Alica Hall of Nia Centre for the Arts, to discuss how to build culturally-relevant and multi-faceted community spaces that are led by, and serve Black communities.
This event is free, open to the public, and will be live-streamed for those not able to attend in person.

Mobilizer Session: Public Art and its Potential - Reclaiming Underutilized Spaces for People
2023-03-16 13:00 - 14:00 UTC | Virtual
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.
Building 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?
Join 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!
