    COVID-19 RESOURCE TOOLKIT A Guide for Canadian Planners and Urbanists November, 2020 Updated April, 2021 © Lorenzo TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD 3 HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE 4 ADDITIONAL RESOURCES 5 AGE-FRIENDLY PLANNING 12 COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE 22 COMMUNITY DESIGN 29 DENSITY 40 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 44 ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATE CHANGE 60 EQUITY & SOCIAL JUSTICE 68 FOOD SYSTEMS 90 HOUSING & HOUSELESSNESS 94 INDIGENOUS ISSUES 109 MAIN STREETS 117 PUBLIC SPACES 123 RESILIENCY 134 RESPONSES & ACTIONS 141 RURAL & NORTHERN ISSUES 147 SMART CITIES & TECHNOLOGY 155 TRANSPORTATION 159 URBAN ISSUES 180 WORK SPACES 201 2 FOREWORD In 2019 no one could foresee that a year later entire countries would be shut down to curb the spread of a highly contagious virus. When the gravity of the COVID-19 pandemic became clear in March 2020, Canada, like many other nations, imposed strict “lockdown” measures on almost all sectors of society. Overnight, most Canadians became confined to their homes. Office buildings, malls, streets, public spaces and airports emptied. Only essential services, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations, were allowed to operate under strict “physical distancing” conditions. As our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) grew and lockdown measures persisted for several weeks and months, glaring inefficiencies in community design started to become unignorable. Our response to challenges that had previously been inadequately addressed - multimodal transportation, a high-quality public realm, age-friendly and accessible planning, for example - have now become essential precursors for the creation of a resilient post-pandemic world. Conversations on the future of cities have become commonplace in mainstream society, and some of the best and brightest minds in the planning profession have made valuable contributions to this discourse.

  • Chef Roger Mooking Dishes on Work, Life, and What Gets Him All Fired up by Signe Langford
    Fire in the Belly Chef Roger Mooking Dishes on Work, Life, and What Gets Him All Fired Up By Signe Langford he creative mind is easily bored. A true entrepreneur nev- er sits still, is never satisfied with good enough, and never, ever, rests on their laurels. To pigeonhole Roger Mooking as a chef is to tell only a fraction of the story. A true Re- Tnaissance man, he has many irons in the fire, and many roles to play, and that suits him just fine. “I’ve always based my career around being an entertainer working in music or food. Cooking – being a chef – is just one of the tools in my kit; I’m an entertainer first.” He knew at the tender age of three he wanted to be a chef, and he’s been busy working to achieve this goal – non-stop – since his teens. Cooking has always been there – his family has always been in the hospitality business – and so has music. Remember Bass Is Base? That was Mooking’s – or rather, MC Mystic’s – 1990’s, Juno award-winning funk trio. (Do yourself a favour, hit YouTube for a ride down Memory Lane in the Funkmobile. – MM) Emigrating from tropical Trinidad to often icy Edmonton is a major transition – Mooking came to Canada at the age of five – but rolling with life’s ups and downs is just one of Mooking’s win- ning personality traits. Determination is another. Mooking recalls, “I started working in a restaurant at 15 to earn money for time in the recording studio.

  • Figure 1 Backlist
    Figure 1 Backlist Kim Dorland by Katerina Atanassova, Robert Enright and Jeffrey Spalding "Kim Dorland" explores the mind and work of one of Canada's most intriguing contemporary artists. Named Globe and Mail 'Artist of the Year' in 2013, Dorland has captured the public's imagination with his tour-de-force, visceral creations. His paintings are at once referential, material, psychological, beautiful, and uncomfortable, resulting in a body of work that is seemingly disparate but undeniably connected through its idiosyncratic - and maximal - use of paint in all its forms Author Bio Katerina Atanassova is the chief curator of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. Since her appointment in 2009, she has led and curated several special exhibitions, among them The Tree: Form and Substance (2011) and You Are Here: Kim Dorland and the Return to Painting (2013). She was also the co-curator for the enormously successful international touring exhibition, Figure 1 Painting Canada: Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven. She is a graduate of On Sale: Oct 3/14 Sofia University and holds an M.A. from the Centre for Mediaeval Studies, 10.35 x 8.81 University of Toronto. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of 9781927958254 • $45.00 • cl Art History and Visual Culture at York University, where she is working on Architecture / Landscape urban visuality and the emergence of urban culture in Canada.
