Excited to launch Youth.hood, a new study exploring how neighbourhood design shapes social connectedness for youth in #southvancouver https://t.co/mKFDBHTwTH. Grateful to be collaborating with our friends @southvanNH and for support from @SFU_CERi. @ChatrLab @SFU_FHS @sfuurban

[Pacific Public Health Foundation @pacpublichealth]

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us, though, some more than others. The BC COVID-19 SPEAK Survey we funded last year showed one key group that was experiencing significant unintended consequences of the pandemic, #YoungAdults. Read more here: https://t.co/rfxPNfeV03

@HeyNeighbourBC @CDCofBC Thanks for sharing @HeyNeighbourBC and for all of your great work and leadership on these issues.

[Dr. Hasina Samji @HasinanisaH]

Thanks @keirjunos for highlighting our new @CDCofBC report examining the health and well-being impacts of the #COVID19 pandemic on young adults @SFU_FHS @SFUResearch @skye_barbic

[Meridith Sones @merisones]

From transit to parks to community centres, the pandemic impacted access to the everyday places and spaces that we rely on for health, connection, & mobility - especially for young adults. Read more in the new @CDCofBC report. Thx @HasinanisaH @ChatrLab for the opp to contribute.

[BC Centre for Disease Control @CDCofBC]

New report: Young people disproportionately impacted by pandemic. It has disrupted the lives of people, aged 18 to 29, in ways that could have long-term impacts for young adults and the B.C. community as a whole https://t.co/nZ14MfDeql

[Meridith Sones @merisones]

We synthesized the latest #urbanplanning + health literature to create this reference tool, with an aim to bring conceptual clarity to research + dialogue + action on social connectedness in cities. Thanks to co-authors @walkabilly @CaislinF @spherelabmtl @ChatrLab & Meg Holden!

[Meridith Sones @merisones]

Excited to share our new primer on the meaning + measurement + impacts of #socialconnectedness in cities - a #publichealth issue that has never felt more urgent: https://t.co/ZcNWFZuaog

[Meridith Sones @merisones]

@ChatrLab @CIHR_IRSC @TeamInteractCA @chase_study @WeAreHub @kteschke Can't think of anyone more deserving! You make it all look so easy Meghan!

[INTERACT @TeamInteractCA]

New paper alert! Are they really interested but concerned? @ChatrLab PhD Student @kahosford used #mixedmethods to unpack the popular Geller bicycling typology. Survey-derived did not match how bicyclists see themselves. https://t.co/IqGF0fb4YE

[Meridith Sones @merisones]

@emmallach Congrats Emma!

[Simon Fraser University @SFU]

What would it mean for urban planners to confess their love for the places they plan? @sfuurban director & professor Meg Holden writes in @ConversationCA about how loving our cities could help us build better ones in a post-#COVID19 world.
