Parks Canada has issued a stark rebuke to Ontario's plan to open up sections of protected Greenbelt land for housing development, saying the move risks "irreversible harm" and that proper consultation on the proposal has not taken place. https://t.co/j7eY08LRXJ

Sorry food prices skyrocketing is not a "supply chain issue", especially when grocery chains are racking in record profits...$2.3 billion so far. This is profiteering.

And even more good news! My paper, co-authored with Sureya Ibrahim @TorontoCLD, on designing @BuildingRoadsTO in Regent Park, has just been published in @CJPH_RCSP! We have evaluated it and are in the process of scaling it locally and globally! https://t.co/kCeUOqF7ia #impsci

My @CJPH_RCSP paper on designing @BuildingRoadsTO is now available at this link https://t.co/ghRiQfKdpb. Read it for a window into how I integrated my experience of @freethehikers trauma & recovery into designing a community-based peer support walking and rolling program. #socinn

@bhanuswaroop143 @buildingroads @OURVMC @SwatchBharat2 We have no idea what you’re referring to. Please see our bio. We are a community-based program in Toronto.

I'm very excited to share my latest paper with co-authors Dr. Sarah Flicker, and Meagan Dellavilla @EnvironmentYork, where we reflect on our experience teaching and doing a community-based participatory evaluation of @BuildingRoadsTO https://t.co/Y6bVZkHNFj #CIHR_ImpactFellows

Tragedy on Toronto's streets, again. It's too much to take. It's unbearable. It's time to declare a State of Emergency, and immediately begin with the basics. First step is to lower speed limits and enforce them. The game playing - pretending we don't know what to do - must stop.

I’ve crossed paths with Zabia in advocacy work, and am very worried. Please RT and keep an eye out for her. #FindZabia #Toronto #healthequity #sdoh #cdnhealth https://t.co/LqsYeH7910

Why Cllr @jimkarygiannis response to the death of 11-year old Duncan Xu just doesn't make sense. Temporary measures won't cut it. We need to slow down traffic, not cut off pedestrian pathways. https://t.co/kKarTpz0Uv https://t.co/kKarTpz0Uv #VisionZero #SafeStreets

Excited to get to know these women & their work better. Even more excited to have them transforming our cities into more inclusive places.
