KELOWNA - On Thursday, April 10 a free public screening of two documentaries will examine the implications of community design from different points of view.
I'd Rather Stay explores the joys and challenges of growing older in one’s own home and neighbourhood, and the importance of developing age friendly communities. Researchers will be present to discuss the film.
Designing Healthy Communities, Episode 1: Retrofitting Suburbia is the first episode of a four part public television series called ‘Designing Healthy Communities’. The multi-media project provides a provocative and challenging view of the impact the built environment has on how we live, where we live and what we must change to improve the quality of life for individuals and communities.
