Live webcast
On Wednesday, November 4, 2015, join us as we consider how the arts create, reveal, critique and enhance the identity of our urban centres and powerfully foster connection, incite social change and build capacity for healthy communities. Cities are a reflection of our human needs and values.
This partnership showcases our Good Money brand in action by providing a platform for our members and the community to convene and deliberate on the possibilities for a future where everyone will thrive but more importantly, remind us all of the role we play in shaping our communities.
