Placemaking Canada is a network that connects people, communities, and practitioners to strengthen places, share knowledge, amplify local stories, and advance collaborative, equitable and community-centred placemaking across the country.

​

In undertaking our work, we aspire to be:

​

Community-focused
We recognize the vital role played by communities - including their agency, values, and experiences - in the placemaking process. 

​

Trust-Centred
We believe that building trust is the first step to advancing equity, inclusion, reconciliatory actions and respect.

​

Creative
We encourage curiosity and experimentation in our approach to placemaking work, and in the placemaking community at large. 

 

Co-powered 
We foster collaboration and co-creation between different communities and practitioners in order to create better places.

 

Connected
We undertake our work from a place of love and care, which links us, the land and the communities we serve, and which endeavors to create hope, joy and belonging.

 

Committed  
We use a clear and coordinated voice to champion and advance the vital role of placemaking across Canada.
