Citizen's Coolkit is a structured, visual and fun guide for people to engage their blocks on issues and solutions related to climate change and urban forestry. It aims to help you climate-proof your neighbourhood while improving the urban forests that surround your home.
START EXPLORINGOur communities are changing. How can we understand and manage that change? The Coolkit is designed to help you:
Community members wanting to have meaningful interaction with their neighbours in caring for the places where they live.
LEARN MORESchool teachers, students, and youth groups wanting to get involved and/or teach climate change & urban forestry in class.
LEARN MOREMost of the activities here are simple, easy, and fun to do with family,
friends and neighbours! Consider introducing the Coolkit at a block party, when spending time
with neighbors or friends, or on Facebook. Don’t forget to bring a copy of the Coolkit along
with some pens, markers, and other required materials.
If it is hard to meet in person,
don’t give up! Consider online options such as creating and using a Facebook group or meeting
regularly on Skype. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep an eye on the upcoming
events and share your ideas under the posts.
