Strategies for long-term community benefit
| | | | | JOIN CITYTALK LIVE TOMORROW Sacred Spaces, Civic Value: Reimagining Faith Buildings for Community Resilience Thursday, May 29 | 12 p.m. ET | Live Zoom Webinar | | | | | | 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. | | | | |
