NEW VIDEO: How public hearings stop housing (and other projects) youtu.be/XnFVvyu2zGY
Thanks so much to the SFU Renovate the Public Hearing Initiative (@rphsfu) for partnering with me on this video. You can check out more of their research on public engagement at renovatethepublichearing.ca
It’s now sold out!
Here’s the link to register for the event eventbrite.ca/e/how-to-renov…
Excited to share this video soon, but if you want a sneak peak join me and @rphsfu at the @museumofvan next week for a screening of the rough cut!
Congregating and requiring ‘affordable’ housing density in the form of apartment developments etc on major arterial rds. It’s already essentially a form of spatial apartheid, with public health impacts (incl Alzheimer’s etc). Esp when cities don’t have bldg cooling requirements.

BREAKING & HUGE: The British Columbia Govt has announced they’ll be ending Public Hearings for housing rezonings that conform with city-wide plans. They’ll also be over-riding municipal zoning to allow up to 4 homes per lot, and 6 near transit, across BC. dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc-m…
Municipalities are on the frontlines of climate change, and local leaders know what’s needed to build climate resilient communities. Tomorrow at #COP28, FCM CEO @carolesaab will join Amina Yasin, @anaf_gg, Serena Mendizabal, and Elodie Jacquet for this important discussion.

A historic first for local leaders at COP, and a big step toward a better future for our planet 🌎 Thank you to everyone at @COP28_UAE who made the first-ever #LocalClimateActionSummit possible.
Great to be part of an important dialogue today at the Canadian pavilion at #COP28 about the collaboration needed across sectors, governments and with Indigenous communities in tackling intersecting crises related to climate & housing Thank you to @SFUDialogue for the engagement.
#COP28 Delegates: Multilevel Clim Act panel tmr (Dec 6th) at 10:30 am Dubai in the 🇨🇦 Pavilion (Bldg 52 Zone B5) w/ @FCM_online @MaRSDD @SacredEarthSOL @rphsfu. Panelists: Amina Yasin, @anaf_gg, @carolesaab & Serena Mendizabal + host Elodie Jacquet. 🔗: bit.ly/3uxpUD8
And, that's a wrap on a wonderful event! Gratitude to @carolesaab Amina Yasin @anaf_gg Serena Mendizabal for giving the attendees a deep, impactful discussion w/ action items to take back home. @FCM_online @rphsfu @MaRSDD @SacredEarthSOL #COP28 #COP28UAE
@FCM_online @SacredEarthSOL @MaRSDD @SFUDialogue Took a moment to stop by the 🇨🇦 Pavilion at #COP28, where we’re hosting our Dec 6th panel on multilevel clim action in climate + econ + land use integration. Panelists: @carolesaab @anaf_gg @Melina_MLM & @rphsfu, hosted by Elodie Jacquet Delegates: It’s in Zone B5 Building 52.
We could fully fund our #ClimateEmergency Action Plan, and work fast within municipal jurisdiction to get our buildings & transportation system off of gas. And advocate for rapid decarbonization & a just transition for workers & communities. Or... drop chemicals into clouds?

One of the reasons why our work with Renovate the Public Hearing @rphsfu is so important, it is time we truly democratise municipal planning processes to support sustainable and inclusive cities that work for all
Come work with me in the Centre for Dialogue's Knowledge & Practice team! This year, we are researching equitable models of engagement for land-use planning with @rphsfu and building a robust set of online resources on dialogue & deliberation. tre.tbe.taleo.net/tre01/ats/care…
RPHI Director Amina Yasin on public hearings in BC: “While we are saying it’s this democratic process, the fact of the matter is that a lot of people have been left out of this process from its inception, so it’s really never been democratic." vancouversun.com/opinion/column…
