I’m 53 today & still celebrating by bringing attention to invisible woman syndrome—the structural erasure of women aged 40+ from public spaces, career, healthcare, etc. 40+ women, post a pic of yourself taking up space in public & what being a #visiblewoman means to you!
Last week, I was happy to share the @TorontoFdn’s Vital Signs Report with City Council.
The report's findings are clear—building connection and supporting social infrastructure is important for our collective wellbeing. #PowerOfUs
Starting today we’re kicking off the #PowerOfUs campaign to get everyone believing in Toronto again. We’re encouraging everyone to take one action over the next 150 days to help restore our collective wellbeing. Check out our map and add your commitment! https://t.co/neoGpfUyq6
The wait is over! Today we're releasing the results of our 2023 Toronto’s Vital Signs Report and coming together with friends, old and new, to talk about how we can show more love for our city! https://t.co/KClRp9nd8X #PowerOfUs
Thank you to everyone that joined us today!
Next steps: read the findings, rethink your engagement and then let’s take action together! Share how you’re recommitting to Toronto by using the hashtag #PowerofUs on socials and help inspire a movement. https://t.co/eDjhxX8hsT

Concerning & inspiring presentation of Toronto’s Vital Signs by superb @TorontoFdn’s CEO Sharon @s2Avery.
Loneliness is huge. Interesting to see that Canada’s cities w best use of public spaces, Montréal & Vancouver have lowest; Toronto highest. A factor.
Talking about the dimensions of safety in a community - physical, psychological and how we can make the region safer for all. @CivicActionCA#ChangmakersNeeded
