Metro Sustainability Breakfast: Building Connectivity – Oct 14
A significant body of research indicates that quality of life is directly linked to a community’s sense of belonging and interconnectedness, and that the happiest cities are ones that help nurture those relationships. Yet a number of recent surveys conducted throughout the Metro Vancouver region suggest that many people in the region may be feeling a sense of isolation and a lack of connection to their neighbourhood. What causes such a strain on social cohesion, and more importantly, what can be done to alleviate it?
Join us to hear about local initiatives designed to help build more connected and engaged communities in the region.
