How can communities mitigate the impacts of large-scale infrastructure while also using the opportunity to grow? The community benefits movement is changing the game for how neighbourhoods interact with development projects, says Sarah Morris of the Windsor-Essex Community Benefits Coalition.

She will present stories from communities around North America, discuss the organizing strategies behind them, and describe how Windsor-Essex is on the forefront of the movement in Canada in a lunch and learn session for UWindsor faculty, staff, and students Friday, June 7.

The event will run 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the EPICentre workshop room on the second floor of the Joyce Entrepreneurship Centre. Admission is free but space is limited; to hold a spot, RSVP by May 31 at ctl2.uwindsor.ca/oris/workshops/20/#wkshp-98.
