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!

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

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!

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.

Can the city do serendipity two days a week?

For the third year in a row, The Local won the prize for General Excellence (small publications) at the Digital Publishing Awards! Congratulations and thanks to the brilliant contributors who make The Local what it is! 🎉🏆
