Sacred Spaces, Civic Value:

Reimagining Faith Buildings for Community Resilience


Thursday, May 29 | 12 p.m. ET | Live Zoom Webinar

Unlocking Civic Power


Join us tomorrow for an essential conversation on how to safeguard and repurpose faith spaces for long-term community benefit.


Nearly one-third of Canada’s 27,000 faith-built properties face an uncertain future—putting vital community spaces at risk.


Ahead of the release of our new report on preserving and reimagining faith buildings as essential resilience infrastructure, we’ll explore the strategies that can help transform these spaces into vital community assets. The discussion will highlight real-world solutions for adaptive reuse, shared governance, and cross-sector partnerships—showcasing how underused spaces can be transformed into thriving community anchors.


Whether you're a faith leader, policymaker, planner, housing advocate, or simply passionate about the future of community infrastructure in Canada, we invite you to join this important dialogue.


Learning From What Works: Leveraging local solutions to make better places

The Canadian Urban Institute and the University of Toronto’s School of Cities are launching a national call for place-based solutions that strengthen community resilience.


If you or your organization are leading an initiative—big or small—that’s making a difference in your community, we want to hear from you.


Selected ideas will be invited to regional roundtables this fall and showcased at the 2025 State of Canada’s Cities Summit in Ottawa.


Help shape Canada's Future!
