Are you interested in working collaboratively to design healthy, active, and equitable communities? Do you want to expand your professional practice, push the conventions of citizen engagement, and learn about inspiring co-design projects across Canada? If so, we’re excited to invite you to participate in an all-new webinar series by the Active Neighbourhoods Canada partnership!

This series of six webinars (three in English, and three in French) will invite participants to learn about the co-design approach developed by the Active Neighbourhoods Canada partnership, which engages citizens and professionals in designing healthy and equitable communities. The series will also introduce tools to implement the approach, showcase inspiring case studies from across Canada, and introduce policy best practices to support healthy and equitable communities.

These webinars are inspired by the array of tools developed, implemented and evaluated by the Active Neighbourhoods Canada partnership in 12 diverse Canadian communities over the last 10 years.
