SPECTACLE

The Community Initiatives Award honourable mention goes to @SustainableYYC, @SPECTACLEbureau, @tooledesign, @UCalgary, @connaughtyyc, @LM_yyc, @MSBhullarCBE, @CISAJ1, & Kids in Motion @YMCA_Calgary for Kids Reimagine School Streets.1/2

@SustainableYYC @yycplan @yycbeltline @EverActiveAB Involving kids in the design process made our job easy. They had really great, creative ideas – bubbly streets, big flower sculptures, colorful glass shelters - and we really just had to roll with what they started.

We’ll start with a banger of a sneak peek, this dreamy street view from @SPECTACLEbureau. This is 13th Ave downtown with Connaught School in the background. Can you just imagine!?🌈🫧💚

Exciting news!!! Our latest report ✨Kids Reimagine School Streets - climate leadership, mobility, and play ✨ is back from the printers and in our hands! We’ll be releasing it in a week - so until then, enjoy this thread of info & sneak peeks… 🧵👀

The kids we talked to told us they love streets with big trees and getting ice cream. Green streets with plant life, a long park that connects our two rivers, and amazing pedestrian streets that connect to local shops bring their ideas to life. 🌲🍦

We’ve been thinking about this question alot as designers and with kids approaching school-age. Great article unpacking the issue in ⁦@sprawlcalgary⁩ sprawlcalgary.com/walking-to-sch…

We are excited to share our collaboration with Calgary Atlas Project + Dr Graham Livesey @ucalgarysapl @HumanitiesYYC . Calgary’s Architecture in 40 Buildings explores the distribution of architectural quality across the city. Find copies @shelflifebooks + other indie bookstores
