These are critical times when it is more important than ever for a shared vision. Whether it is the climate crisis or challenges about housing, food security, equity, inclusion and / or social justice, we need leadership that transcends, inspires and unites us. Now, is not the time to panic nor should we ignore the crisis. Flash forward to 2037.....
As an artist and storyteller, let me paint you a picture of Cambridge in the year 2037. Imagine:
Our beautiful riverside city ranked as the happiest in Canada, measured by the Canadian Index of Wellbeing which evaluates the wellness of populations based on community vitality, democratic engagement, the environment, healthy populations, living standards and education.
Resilient children, families and neighbourhoods who are welcomed and safe. Food security, affordable housing, a living income, clean water and fresh air will be protected as human rights in a city built on equity and social justice.
A city that is safe, sustainable, walkable and friendly: a lovable City.
