How access to parks, trees, and natural areas supports physical health, mental wellbeing, and stronger neighbourhoods. This topic covers everything from the measured health benefits of nearby nature to the equity questions around who has access and who does not.
Trees that cool streets, rain gardens that manage stormwater, green infrastructure that helps communities handle extreme heat, flooding, and changing weather patterns. Practical approaches already being used across Ontario.
The everyday infrastructure of public life. Trail networks, neighbourhood parks, waterfront paths, and the communities built around them. Parks are not a luxury. They are the places where people walk, play, gather, and connect.
Native plants, pollinators, wildlife corridors, and the ecological health of Ontario's landscapes. Biodiversity is not just a conservation issue. It shapes air quality, water systems, food production, and the long-term health of the places where we live.
How public spaces, walkability, and thoughtful design bring people together and shape the places where we live. This includes park design, streetscaping, placemaking, and the small decisions that make a neighbourhood feel like home.
