Thank you to Councillor @stevedesroches.bsky.social for joining us at Ottawa Rotary Home for the planting of a new Tiny Forest in Findlay Creek! This Tiny Forest was made possible thanks to the support of the Josette Robertson & Joan Johnston Family Foundation & the Ottawa Rotary Home Foundation.

Watch Part 1 Heating or Eating to learn about the origins of the EnviroCentre Retrofit Accelerator. This is the first mass deep energy retrofit of an entire social housing community in eastern Ontario: youtu.be/Sxw87i2tttE?...

The first trees are in the ground! Ottawa’s Plant Your Place program is officially underway. With 40% of urban land on private property, engaging residents is key to scaling green infrastructure and meeting climate goals.

Another inspiring keynote with @nondriver.bsky.social today. In the US 30% of the population are non drivers - shocking, right? In Ottawa the number is similar (27%) and yet we rarely hear their voices.

“Transit brings happiness!” Thank you to Renée Amilcar, General Manager of OC Transpo for kicking off our symposim on transit today and for sharing her commitment to increasing ridership in our city.

How do you get around when driving isn’t an option? Exciting to see so many folks walk, roll and bus over to our public talk with author and nondriver advocate Anna Zivarts tonight.
