Centring Equity and Resilience in Canadian City Parks

Park People launches the Canadian City Parks Report, the third annual report tracking the trends, challenges, and leading practices in 32 Canadian cities.

This year's report highlights new city park insights on how parks can foster more resilient, equitable cities — not only as we recover from COVID-19, but as we address another looming crisis: climate change.

In the report we share:

• Lessons learned from how COVID-19 impacted Canadian city parks.
• A new collection of valuable park data from 32 participating cities.
• The results of our survey of nearly 3,500 Canadians on COVID-19 and parks.
• Key indicators and stories that bring context to the data.
• An in-depth look through over 40 expert interviews at parks and climate change, race, public health, nature-based partnerships, and local economic development.

Join the Canadian City Parks Report's authors — Adri Stark, Jake Tobin Garrett, and Nahomi Amberber — and Park People Board Chair Zahra Ebrahim, for a webinar to launch the 2021 Report.

This Canadian City Parks Report launch webinar will feature:

• Key insights from the report.
• Best practices for moving forward.
• A lively moderated discussion.

The webinar will be held in English with simultaneous French interpretation.
