The design of our neighborhoods—where food is available and visible, how safely and comfortably we can reach it, and whether public spaces support gathering and eating together—also influences our daily food choices. This webinar introduces the Thriving Foodscapes Approach, developed by Gehl and Cities for Better Health. Through examples from cities around the world, we will explore how food places, public space, and public life intersect—and how you can uncover the barriers people face in establishing healthy food routines. Participants will learn how these insights can inspire practical changes to public space, programs, and policies that make healthier, more sustainable choices easier and more equitable.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_elK1XT9vRTO8bE84x8O_dg#/registration">https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_elK1XT9vRTO8bE84x8O_dg#/registration</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#A02B93'>Your Garden Your Superpower: How Gardeners Can Help Fight Climate Change<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Tues.

The forty richest billionaires increased their fortunes by nearly $95 billion in one year, while millions face rising costs and growing economic pressures. The rapidly widening divide between the ultra-rich and everybody else is reshaping Canadian life—from the price of homes and groceries to the future of our communities, economy, and democracy. Leading thinkers will explore the forces driving the concentration of economic power in Canada and beyond. From taxation and policy to outsized corporate influence, resource extraction, and affordability, speakers will look at how the wealth gap shapes decisions that affect our future. As a historic transfer of wealth approaches between generations, join us in Toronto or online for an increasingly urgent conversation about the impacts of extreme wealth concentration, as well as some ideas and policies that could help build a national economy where everyone can thrive.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-walrus-talks-the-billionaire-problem-tickets-1994952070345?aff=ENewsletterAug28">https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-walrus-talks-the-billionaire-problem-tickets-1994952070345</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#4EA72E'>Seven youth, seven years: What's next for the Mathur et al. v.
