SUMMARY:BETTER TORONTO COALITION HUB
DESCRIPTION:he impacts of COVID-19 are not being felt equally. Thousands of Torontonians have lost their jobs. Many part-time and temporary workers are facing the impossible question of whether to pay for food or rent. Some are visiting a food bank for the first time ever. Those with mental health challenges have no doubt been triggered. Frontline workers supporting our most vulnerable are dealing with increased demands and stresses.\nThat’s why we’ve created the Better Toronto Coalition to connect concerned residents directly with learnings from nonprofit leaders and help direct your support to where it’s needed most.\n\nBI-WEEKLY GATHERINGS\nEvery other Thursday at 8:00am EST we’re connecting interested Torontonians to the front lines – virtually – so we can learn together. On Thursday June 11 join us to talk about The environment and a greener, more equal recovery.\nThe environment is not the first thing that comes to mind when multiple cities in the world are seeing protests against anti-Black racism and we all continue to live through COVID-19. The pandemic has punished those Torontonians who were already marginalized and is not letting up. We have been tracking the city’s quality of life issues, hosting online gatherings and publishing research briefs as new data becomes available. Our next webinar on the environment is a topic that may not feel like a priority, but knowing that so many issues are intersectional and that discussions are being had on the best strategies to guide our recovery, we invite you to learn more about the environment and a greener, more equal recovery during Thursday’s webinar.\nEnvironmental organizations and the causes they support have most definitely been impacted by the pandemic. The paradox of COVID-19 is improved air quality and natural systems while humans struggle physically, socially and financially. But these environmental gains are temporary due to physical distancing and are even canceled out by a rise in the use of disposables and other waste. And ultimately we know that extreme weather continues to be a threat and affects our most vulnerable people. How can we seize this moment to plan for a better future? Conservation, stewardship and educational ENGOs are facing program stoppages and severe funding shortfalls with long-term negative implications when we continue to face a climate crisis. Investing in green jobs offers economic stimulus, decent work for many who are unemployed and the opportunity for real environmental advancement.\nWe’ll hear from an expert panel including:\n\nTanya Chung-Tiam-Fook, Senior Lead of Indigenous Engagement, Evergreen, and Future Cities Canada\nEmmay Mah, Executive Director, Toronto Environmental Alliance\nSteve Moran, National Coordinator, Green Economy Network\nMichael de Pencier Lead Director, GrandTrees Climate Solutions & Director, Trees for Life Urban Tree Coalition, and  Highway of Heroes Tree Campaign\n\nPlease check your inbox or junk mail for your confirmation email.\n \n
