Join the Climate Hub, CAPACity, and the Planning Students Association for an evening envisioning a just city and exploring racial and climate justice in urban planning! We will be addressing the anti-Black and anti-Indigenous planning practices that have marked Vancouver and have been worsened by the disproportionate effects of the climate crisis.

Our discussion will unpack what it means to build and strengthen respectful relationships with Black and Indigenous communities, to reimagine inclusive urban spaces, to share valuable expertise and build more equitable cities in the face of climate change.

We will be joined by 3 amazing planning experts who will share their knowledge and experience surrounding this topic:
SCARP’s Dr. Maggie Low,
Black Mutual Aid BC’s Jahmira Lovemore White, and
Kwi Awt Stelmexw’s Salia Joseph, St’a????̱????́????????????????????.

Thank you,

Pablo
