This is a repost of an episode originally recorded in July 2018
Park People are a Canada-wide NGO which uses the power of parks to improve the quality of life in cities across Canada.
Jodi Lastman, Park People's Manager, Communications, Skypes into the podcast to talk about the organization's work, community mobilization and why parks are a "neat gateway drug" for all sorts of really, really good things.
On the way through, we namecheck Jane Jacobs, Shawn Micallef and Jutta Mason (links below!).
