Healing, vibrant, green places for healthier people
We are more disconnected from each other and nature in our cities than ever before. As social beings, this disconnection is bad for our health, and is strongly linked to a slew of health issues, from anxiety and depression to heart disease and diabetes. And as more and more people find themselves living in cities, it’s vital that the future of urban life has an abundance of opportunities for people to connect with others and the natural world.
Access to public places that connect people with their community and nature is proven to reduce loneliness and the risk of chronic diseases.
In our work we’re focussed on improving health and wellbeing by:
We work with communities across Canada to bring nature into the heart of our cities. By ‘greening’ public places, we’re opening up access to nature for more people and enabling them to enjoy the benefits of time spent outdoors surrounded by their community.
Truly great places are great for everyone. That’s why we’re continuously striving to ensure that our programs and places are available to everyone, no matter their abilities.
Social connections are the ultimate health hack, with social connections boosting your health the same way that exercise does. That’s why we need public places that connect us to what matters most, and now is the time to make that happen.
