Happy birthday spectacular woman!
I’m 53 today & still celebrating by bringing attention to invisible woman syndrome—the structural erasure of women aged 40+ from public spaces, career, healthcare, etc. 40+ women, post a pic of yourself taking up space in public & what being a #visiblewoman means to you!

Thank you for sharing this important work!
Last week, I was happy to share the @TorontoFdn’s Vital Signs Report with City Council.
The report's findings are clear—building connection and supporting social infrastructure is important for our collective wellbeing. #PowerOfUs
Are you ready to commit to your city again? #PowerOfUs
Starting today we’re kicking off the #PowerOfUs campaign to get everyone believing in Toronto again. We’re encouraging everyone to take one action over the next 150 days to help restore our collective wellbeing. Check out our map and add your commitment! bit.ly/46eUcHZ

Big day folks! Time to meet your neighbours again.
Thank you to everyone that joined us today!
Next steps: read the findings, rethink your engagement and then let’s take action together! Share how you’re recommitting to Toronto by using the hashtag #PowerofUs on socials and help inspire a movement. bit.ly/3sI81kt
ALT More than a city of neighbourhoods, let's be a city of neighbours. The Power of Us.
This is a big question we’re wrestling with right now. What are the unintended consequences of our new hybrid work world?
Can the city do serendipity two days a week?

Important reading for all friends and colleagues.
