Women + Public Space

Join us for an evening of stories, dialogue, and collaboration with Vancouver placemakers and public space advocates.

This month we celebrate International Women’s Day, so we’re shining a light on the issues and opportunities girls and women face in the public realm, and celebrating women-led, women-centred advocacy, artistry, and placemaking.

The evening will include a series of short presentations from women shaping Vancouver’s public realm, an opportunity for dialogue, and small group discussion amongst participants. As part of this, attendees will have a chance to roll up their sleeves and identify priorities for public space advocacy in Vancouver.

More info, including details on the speakers will be posted shortly.
