Don’t Just Tick the Box, Think Outside It: Reimagining Public Engagement in Parks and Public Spaces

What is the future of public engagement?

COVID-19 has shaken up standard community engagement methods. Can we seize this moment to develop more creative methods to foster it?

This webinar will look at a new wave of creative and community-centric approaches to support community engagement that positions community members as local experts before designs are produced and long after the ribbon is cut on a new park.

The panelists:
Mikael St. Pierre, Project and Development Manager at Montréal Urban Ecology Centre
Sophia Horwitz, partner and co-founder of COLAB
Jennifer Franks, Lead, Indigenous Placemaking, City of Toronto
Cheryll Case, Founder and Principal, CP Planning; City of Brampton

This webinar is ticket-based with a pay-what-you-can structure. All donations will go directly to support Park People’s parks and public space programs and initiatives.
