Help shape the future of online tools bringing urban built environment information and data to Canadians.
The Sandbox Project is collaborating with the Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium (CANUE) and the Dalla Lana School of Public Health are collaborating to develop online tools that will help people easily access, use and contribute to data on healthy urban environments.
Building on CANUE's growing data holdings and a soon-to-be-released GoodScore.City prototype, new tool functions and data will be added, including on-demand reporting of environmental equity across all urban neighbourhoods in Canada.
CANUE is establishing a volunteer Advisory Committee to ensure a broad perspective that reflects the interests of environmental health professionals, urban planners, youth, and community advocacy organizations. Considering the impacts built environments can have on child and youth health and well-being, we are calling on child and youth organizations and youth to get involved and share their perspectives and experiences. The Committee will meet 8 times by videoconference, between March 2021 and February 2024.
If you are passionate about creating healthy and equitable urban neighbourhoods, please email info@canue.ca to express your interest by January 22nd if possible, and no later than January 27th. Visit https://canue.ca/goodscore-city/ for more information.
