Our hosts

Inspiring Communities is an equity-centered systems transformation organization based in Nova Scotia.

“Inspiring Communities is dedicated to creating systems change with equity at the centre. We work directly in three communities across Nova Scotia — Digby, CBRM and HRM. Only two of those are located in an “urban” area. But the truth is, what happens in our urban areas is intrinsically linked to what happens in the rest of the province.

Urban planning is more than choosing a spot for a new building, or adding public art; it’s a deep discussion about how we live in community, what is built, and how space is used. It can serve as a spark for conversations about equity and inclusivity, what values are reflected in our public spaces, and whose voices inform those decisions.”
