DESCRIPTION:Gender Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) is a tool and approach that helps to analyze your services\, products\, and processes from a gender and intersectional lens. When applying GBA+ you are better able to explore the needs of different groups of people\, as well as recognize their multiple identities (such as gender\, race\, ethnicity\, class\, religion\, age and mental or physical disability etc.). that impacts their experiences.\nWhile more and more people are familiarizing themselves with the concept of GBA+\, many leaders and staff struggle with the “how to” aspect of the framework. What does it really mean to apply and embed GBA+ thinking to your workplace policies and practices? Where do you start and what pre-conditions need to be in place? This webinar focuses on GBA+ applications. The goal is to deepen your understanding of the utilization of GBA+ and demonstrate how you might integrate it into your current projects. Participants will learn how GBA+ can be used to: \n\nuncover barriers to accessing transportation services and new modes of transportation\nbuild practices and policies into organizational structures to reduce barriers and biases in workplace processes\nexplore new ways of thinking and working that centres the experience of historically marginalized and underserved communities\n\nA case study highlighting critical foundational components and outcomes will inspire participants to get started on their own GBA+ journey. \nSpeaker bios: \n\nChanel Grenaway has over 20 years of experience focused on integrating equity\, a gender lens\, and intersectionality practice into workplace cultures. She has a range of expertise from work with Foundations\, multi-service non-profit agencies and academic institutions. Chanel played a pivotal role in the research and planning of a new 5 course specialization on gender-based analytics developed and offered by the Institute for Gender and the Economy (available on Coursera). The course explores the ways that gender identity\, Indigeneity\, race\, ethnicity\, disability\, sexual orientation and other intersections shape risks\, opportunities and impacts of an organization’s activities\, operations and outcomes.

SUMMARY:CITE Atlantic Provinces Spring Technical Session
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to officially announce the “in-person” return of our annual CITE Atlantic Provinces Spring Technical Session in Halifax\, NS on Thursday\, June 9th after a two-year Covid hiatus. This popular event is being held at the Irving Oil Auditorium at Dalhousie University (5217 Morris Street\, Halifax\, NS). Similar to previous years\, it will feature a jammed-packed day of technical sessions\, poster presentations\, and a lunchtime technical tour – 100% focused on the same transportation topics we (as transportation professionals) love to speak so passionately about\, only to receive eyerolls and looks of pure indifference from our family and friends! \nKeeping with recent tradition\, we will also be hosting a Social Event the evening prior (Wednesday\, June 8th) at HaliMac Axe Throwing from 7-10 pm. Drinks and munchies will be available on site. Even if you’ve never thrown an axe before (which is completely understandable)\, you won’t want to miss out on this fun networking opportunity!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Transportation/Land Use Planning in the post pandemic city: what changes should we anticipate
DESCRIPTION:Transportation/Land Use Planning in the post pandemic city: what changes should we anticipate \nThe pandemic accelerated a great many changes\, technological and otherwise. That acceleration\, while dismaying\, presents opportunities and challenges for everyone. The speaker will talk about these changes and provide some context on how to address them. The presentation will be on several short topics: each of which to provide an insight into initiatives you are presently working on in your practices and what you may be confronted with in your work 20 years from now. For example\, when the Province recently exempted “A” and A+” projects from the Environmental Assessment Act\, they changed the framework for the administration of that Class EA\, especially as it relates to Official Plan road classifications. Mr. McKibbon will also focus on what our streets and communities might look like in 20 years time. In his presentation\, he will focus on points like: the future of single family residential zoning; equity where housing is concerned; air quality\, traffic and land use; robotic delivery bots; electrification and automobile ownership\, especially where electric vehicles are concerned. \nGeorge McKibbon is an environmental planner with over 40 years of professional experience in Ontario. He is a Registered Professional Planner and a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners with advanced certification in environmental planning. In addition to working with citizens groups\, First Nations and Treaty organizations\, he has worked for a variety of municipalities\, private companies and Provincial Ministries and Canadian Departments. He is also a sessional lecturer in the W. Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology and an Adjunct Professor in the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development. He served his profession on several advisory committees and boards including those of the Ontario Professional Planners Institute\, the Canadian Institute of Planners\, the Upstate Chapter of the American Planning Association and the American Institute of Certified Planners. \nThe link to this webinar will be emailed separately to registered attendees prior to the session. Registration closes at the end of the day\, June 13th.\n \n

SUMMARY:What’s New with Ontario Traffic Manual Book 18: Cycling Facilities
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, the Ontario Traffic Council (OTC) and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) released their much-anticipated update to Ontario Traffic Manual Book 18: Cycling Facilities (commonly known as “Book 18”). While the first version of this guide\, published in 2013\, played a key role in shaping the growth of cycling infrastructure across Ontario\, it was quickly overtaken by the rapid pace of change in how cycling facilities are designed and who they are designed for. The second version of “Book 18”\, the cycling design manual for the province of Ontario\, features a major overhaul from the original version with a focus on physically separated infrastructure and advanced safety measures at intersections. This presentation will give a sneak peak into what’s new with OTM Book 18\, including some hot topics and emerging design solutions. \nBio: \nShawn Smith is a Senior Project Manager and engineer with WSP Canada Inc with 20 years of experience leading sustainable mobility projects. Shawn is a design lead in WSP’s Active Transportation\, Trails and Complete Streets Centre of Excellence. Shawn was co-author for the update to OTM Book 18 and continues to serve as a lead trainer for the guide\, delivering full- and half-day training workshops to municipal and consulting staff to build knowledge about the new guide. Shawn has helped train over 500 professionals across Ontario to-date.

SUMMARY:Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities of Active Transportation in a Rural and Regional Context
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Navigating the Challenges and Opportunities of Active Transportation in a Rural and Regional Context \nPresenter: Tyler Thomson\, MCIP RPP PTP\, Associate | Senior Active Transportation Planner \nContributor: Erin Tattrie\, RSE\, GradTECH \nAbstract: Active transportation is a growing and quickly evolving aspect of our transportation realm both in urban and rural areas across Canada. Many communities understand the multitude of benefits that active transportation offers from improved health\, environmental\, social and economic conditions\, whether for commuting to work or school\, or for recreational uses. As such\, communities are planning to incorporate active transportation infrastructure\, policies\, and programs to help draw greater interest and awareness to active transportation and to facilitate and encourage people to choose active modes instead of driving. A broader spectrum of users are also gaining access to active transportation through safer dedicated facilities (i.e.\, children\, older adults\, and people with mobility impairments)\, and evolving technologies including electric assisted bicycles\, scooters and other devices which are helping to catalyze increasing use of active modes. However\, planning for active transportation in rural/smaller communities and regional areas can come with its own set of challenges given the traditional roadway design characteristics\, low densities and separation of land uses\, and expansive areas covered between destinations. This presentation provides further context into these challenges and discusses some of the strategies being explored to address the challenges\, as well as the opportunities that come with planning active transportation for rural and regional areas.\n\nJoin Virtual Event:\nhttps://youtu.be/ElDxNMax6l4\n

Many communities understand the multitude of benefits that active transportation offers from improved health\, environmental\, social and economic conditions\, whether for commuting to work or school\, or for recreational uses. As such\, communities are planning to incorporate active transportation infrastructure\, policies\, and programs to help draw greater interest and awareness to active transportation and to facilitate and encourage people to choose active modes instead of driving. A broader spectrum of users are also gaining access to active transportation through safer dedicated facilities (i.e.\, children\, older adults\, and people with mobility impairments)\, and evolving technologies including electric assisted bicycles\, scooters and other devices which are helping to catalyze increasing use of active modes. However\, planning for active transportation in rural/smaller communities and regional areas can come with its own set of challenges given the traditional roadway design characteristics\, low densities and separation of land uses\, and expansive areas covered between destinations. This presentation provides further context into these challenges and discusses some of the strategies being explored to address the challenges\, as well as the opportunities that come with planning active transportation for rural and regional areas.
