MODUS Update: Our response to COVID-19, and useful resources for you. During this challenging period, we have also been thinking about how to make a positive contribution to our fields of interest, and to support our colleagues. As we have increasingly moved our project management, firm management, and communication activities onto digital platforms, it occurred to us that many clients and communities may be seeking ways to do the same. We would thus like to share our "10 too...ls for online engagement" document, drawn from the engagement toolkit MODUS has built over the years. Our team also collaborated to identify a set of 20+ engagement activities that traditionally happen in-person, but which can be done effectively online. We then prepared a user-friendly table listing tools and platforms from a range of suppliers that anyone can use to implement these engagement activities.

Hmmm , we may need to get a bigger library with all these great city books coming out in 2020 ! This one's written by a neuroscientist on the human superpower of walking.

We recently supported Metro Vancouver in delivering interactive workshops on "Planning for a Carbon Neutral Region by 2050". Stakeholders were invited to share their perspectives on the opportunities and challenges in managing air quality and becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

An important editorial from the Globe and Mail on restructuring our cities around mass transit (and a lot more it!).

Now let's do the work Greta is imploring us to do!

Seasons greetings from our fabulous MODUS team! Also, Jessica clearly won the shiniest shoe competition.
