SUMMARY:Bird-Friendly Campus Discussion Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Monday\, March 23rd from 5:30-7pm for an open discussion forum on how we can make Queen’s a bird-friendly campus! Situated along a key ecological corridor for many local and migratory bird species\, Queen’s has a fundamental role to play in protecting our native bird populations\, but bird collisions with windows are a major source of mortality in urban environments like Kingston. Kingston is now making strides to become part of the national Bird Friendly City program by Nature Canada\, and as a student-led group at Queen’s University\, we want to make sure Queen’s can contribute to this amazing initiative! For more information and to learn more about the Society for Conservation Biology Kingston Chapter’s initiatives\, please make sure to follow us on Instagram @scb_kingston or check out our (new!) website at https://scbkingston.ca/ \n\n\nEnglish\, In-Person\, SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities\, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production\, SDG 13: Climate Action\, SDG 15: Life On Land\, SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals\, SDG 2: Zero Hunger\, SDG 4: Quality Education\, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth\, SDG 9: Industry\, Innovation and Infrastructure

SUMMARY:Capilano River Regional Park - Forest Resiliency Project 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join EarthWorks-CapU and Metro Vancouver Regional Parks for a hands-on forest restoration event in Capilano River Regional Park. Working alongside Regional Parks staff\, participants will help construct a cedar split-rail fence along unsanctioned trails in an area impacted by hemlock looper moth outbreak and off-trail activity. By redirecting foot traffic\, this fencing will protect degraded understory habitat and prepare the site for future native planting.\nPlease note this is a physically active event — participants should be comfortable carrying 10-foot cedar beams (approximately 15 lbs) and using hammers. All tools and materials will be provided. We will meet at the Cleveland Dam parking lot and hike approximately 15 minutes to the work site.

SUMMARY:Foresight for Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Learn from a panel of experts about how futures and foresights approaches can be used to build climate resilience in Canadian cities. Cities around the world are increasingly planning for and responding to climate risks\, trying to use long-term perspective to weigh actions today against a range of possible future outcomes that may take decades to materialize. Yet day-to-day demands and short planning cycles often make it difficult to look too far ahead. While many solutions already exist\, scaling them requires rethinking our approaches to governance\, decision-making\, and our societal values. That work begins with envisioning alternative futures and using foresight to try to imagine and anticipate what the future brings. \nJoin us on March 2nd from 12pm – 1pm EST at the Grebel Gallery for an engaging dialogue exploring practical tools and approaches to help cities envision and plan for more resilient futures. The event will explore what future climate risks cities face\, what creative and design-based approaches exist for exploring future planning\, and how cities can spark and support real change in their communities.
