Episode 31: Kingston School Streets and Hamilton's Community Fossil Free Plan

We recently spoke to Dr. Patricia Collins, Nico Koenig and Roger Healy about School Streets: a project that closes streets adjacent to schools to through traffic. The program is the product of a university-community partnership that seeks to promote children’s health and well-being and is part of a project funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research called Levelling the Playing Fields.  

We also spoke with Adan Amer and Adeola Aegbeyemi, who are the authors of a youth-led plan to reduce Hamilton, Ontario’s dependence on fossil fuels. We spoke to them about their Community Fossil Free Plan released by Environment Hamilton.
