What was specifically shared by community?

Please provide comments, stories, or any direct quotes. Please organize them by summarized findings, if possible. You may attach notes taken at the session in a separate document.

Some examples of input that would be useful:

• Intangible culture and heritage that community would like to protect, support, or revive: places, practices, relationships, experiences, and other aspects of a community or neighbourhood that may be undervalued or invisible to people outside that community.
• Opportunities or assets within a community, which could contribute to improving the city: skills, knowledge, resources, relationships, passions, community-based approaches - and how they could be cultivated, resourced, or valued more.
• Elements of the neighbourhood or the city that are missing or not designed for this community: supports that cannot be accessed, spaces that do not feel inviting or safe, or services that discriminate against the community, and improvements that could be made.
• Processes and activities of interest to the community, and what's needed to support their participation, especially if they are excluded.
• Aspects of their COVID-19 pandemic experience we could learn from that can guide how we might ‘build back better’ after the pandemic.
  
• Aspects of living in a neighbourhood or city from which others are benefiting, but remains out of reach for members of your community.
