In partnership with Dr. Laura Tozer and the Urban Just Transitions lab at U. of T. Scarborough, our workshop on extreme heat surfaced surprising insights on how heat is experienced and mitigated by newcomers to Canada.

Using a play-based approach to storytelling in our zero waste workshop allowed participants' some distance from who they were storytelling about, which in turn allowed for honest and vulnerable sharing, along with rich and nuanced stories and solutions.

Reciprocity more than trust resulted in inadvertent climate action through the meeting of fundamental community needs.

When designing climate workshops, art, nature and community serve as therapeutic interventions to counter climate anxiety.
