After spending the last couple days in #YOW for #NCC Board meetings, I can't say enough what a joy it was to see folks commuting, exercising, and coming together to skate on the #Ottawa canal. An absolute cultural and placemaking treasure! No time for a pic, but here's one from online. #Canada #joy

One of the original … and still one of the best … urbanist Starter Packs. 👇
In case you missed it, this was my starter pack for voices and organizations in Canadian Urbanism specifically. I’ve been adding to it over time, so even if you explored it before, you might want to see who’s been added. And sharing it would be much appreciated! #UrbanistShoutOut go.bsky.app/QWdmJjk
