Kelty McKinnon will be at the Vancouver Art Gallery’s facilitated dinner conversation tonight as part of the City of Vancouver’s Places For People Downtown initiative.

This evening of dialogue will help inform the basis of the City of Vancouver’s public space values and principles, and will shape public space related initiatives including Places For People Downtown and the Plaza Stewardship Strategy. This event also coincides with the release of the Vancouver Foundation’s follow-up report on social isolation which is due in October.

The City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Foundation are hosting an evening of conversation with some of Vancouver’s Key thinkers to discuss the collective values we hold to promote public life and great public spaces in our city. This event will bring together a group of influential professionals, academics, artists and innovators, who are leading the dialogue on public issues in Vancouver for an interactive and facilitated exchange.

What are the City of Vancouver’s collective public space values? how can public spaces help mitigate social isolation? How can citizens be involved in the stewardship of our public spaces?

Generously supported by the Vancouver Foundation and the Vancouver Gallery, this event coincides with the release of the Vancouver Foundation’s follow-up report on social isolation which is due in October. The results of this discussion will inform the basis of the City of Vancouver’s public space values and principles, and will shape public space related initiatives including Places for People: Downtown and the Plaza Stewardship Strategy.
