5 Day Challenge Resources

5 Day Challenge Resources

Day 1
In today’s challenge, we explore examples of what racism and discrimination looks like in our country, and we invite you to get inspired by Jay Pitter’s ‘A Call to Courage’.

  • Read: A Call to Courage: An Open Letter to Canadian Urbanists
  • Read: Indigenous Experiences with Racism and Its Impacts
  • Listen: How the spectacle of U.S. racism allows Canada to overlook its own
  • Optional: Equity & Inclusion Glossary of Terms

 

Day 2
In today’s challenge, we examine examples of who is planning and designing our cities, and we invite you to consider whose needs are not being included in the process.

  • Watch: Urban Design is not Neutral
  • Read: The Very Way Cities Like Toronto Are Run Is Making Inequality Worse
  • Read: What would cities look like if they were designed by mothers?
Day 3
In today’s challenge, we look at the role of transportation planning and public transit in building a more equitable and inclusive city, and we invite you to consider whose needs are not being included in our current policies.
  • Read: Racism has shaped public transit, and it’s riddled with inequities
  • Read: Anti-Black Racism in the Liveable City and Canada
  • Read: Opening conversations about active transportation in racialized suburbs
Day 4
In today’s challenge, we learn about Toronto’s long-standing and ongoing housing crises, through today’s homeless tent encampments downtown, and we wonder if the COVID-19 pandemic can finally shake us out of complacency?
  • Read: The story of Africville
  • Read: There’s no such thing as affordable housing in Toronto
  • Read: Our opportunity to end housing poverty
Day 5
In today’s challenge, we question how ‘public’ our public spaces really are, and we invite you to think about how we can make places like our parks more accessible and equitable for everyone to enjoy.
  • Read: Racism is a Parks and Public Space Issue
  • Read: Toronto’s Racialized Communities Have Less Access to Urban Forests
  • Read: Whose Streets? Black Streets
