The Climate Summit: Post Election 2019, What’s Next?

The upcoming federal election will have ramifications across the country, but perhaps nowhere will it be felt more than for those of us working on climate solutions and towards climate justice.

As such, we’re organizing an opportunity for folks to come together a week after to learn, discuss, and plan for the reality we’ll find ourselves in. This will include a discussion led by a panel of experts, an intentional networking session, and a solutions salon to ensure everyone leaves with some ways to move forward.

When: Monday, October 28th, 1pm-4:30pm

Where: Bigger Bolder, CSI Spadina Ave

The Summit is a members-only event designed to help you accelerate your work and maximize your CSI experience. Huzzah! You’ll meet amazing like-minded people, build strategic connections, find solutions to your needs and find others who have needs you’ll be able to solve; it will be awesome!

We aim to make these events open to everyone and so if the ticket price is a barreir please reach out to Stefan(at)socialinnovation.ca.

Transport Futures – Federal Election Transportation Debate

As federal election campaigning gets underway, an Abacus Data poll suggests that Canadians are far less concerned about transit than they are about the cost of living, healthcare and climate change.

Yet each of these “top 3” issues is directly connected to government policy decisions that influence personal and business transportation choices.

To ensure that voters are aware of these connections when they enter the ballot box, Transport Futures has invited candidates from the Liberals, Conservatives, New Democrats, Greens and People’s Party to debate their respective transport strategies as they pertain to road, transit, rail, airport and marine infrastructure as well as related equity, safety, technology, environmental, funding, governance and leadership issues. Ben Spurr, transportation reporter for the Toronto Star, will be moderating the debate and audience Q&A.

Seating is limited and regular rates end on September 15 so register today! For further information, please visit www.transportfutures.ca/election or email info@transportfutures.ca.
