YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard)
The annual YIMBY Festival provides an inclusive space for people and groups involved in grassroots community development to gather; exchange ideas, skills and strategies; and collectively imagine our future city. Last year’s festival featured over 100 community-based groups, free, interactive workshops and activities, and opening remarks from Mayor Tory.
This year’s theme is Massively Open. We’ll be focusing in on inclusivity and accessibility, practicing empathy and vulnerability, sharing connections, expertise, data and more. Through the festival, we will be exploring how being open can support us in realizing our collective hopes for a better Toronto.
YIMBY 2016 is presented by Shape My City, in collaboration withThinkFresh Group.
EIT will be one of the many fascinating groups with a display table at this event!
