What If We Get It Right? Visions of Climate Futures
By Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson
One World

A Vision by Wendell Berry

10/20/2026

Yup, that’s David Suzuki! I got to see him and the people at Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE), Community Resilience to Extreme Weather, Toronto Environmental Alliance, and East Scarborough Storefront talk to us about resiliency going forward into this uncharted climate territory. We need to build our neighbourhood hubs, ecosystems that help us survive the difficult years ahead. Want to be part of the network of resiliency for the future? Come to the store. Let’s start pooling our talents and skills and build it.
