📣INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE 📣

Are you interested in sharing your thoughts and experiences with local parks and green spaces in Jane-Finch? Do you self-identify as a person of colour?

Along with and the St. James Town Co-op, Green Change is part of a Community Research Advisory Group working on a new research project. Led by York PhD student Nadha Hassen, this community-based project is exploring the experiences of racialized people in public green spaces in Toronto.

WHAT’S INVOLVED IN PARTICIPATING?

1️⃣Participate in an online session to discuss photo-taking, public health and safety, and other guidelines
2️⃣Visit a green space in Jane-Finch and take pictures and short videos about how you feel in the space
3️⃣Share you pictures with other participants in an online session
4️⃣Go back to your local green space and take more pictures
5️⃣Talk about your pictures 1-on-1 with Nadha (30-40 mins)

All information collected will remain confidential.

To honour your time, energy, and knowledge, a $25 honorarium (e-gift card) will be given per green space visit and $25/interview ($75 total).

The York University Office of Research Ethics has approved this study (STU 2021-087). We’ve also been in touch with the Jane Finch Community Research Partnership (JFCRP) and are striving to uphold and take action on their principles throughout the course of the project.

Our group is planning to write up this research and share it back with you and the broader Jane-Finch community (including through the Jane-Finch Research Collections) and through a number of other outputs, like a community report and a photovoice exhibit (to be finalized).

Our aim is to take a strengths-based approach to promoting health equity, access and inclusion with racialized people in public urban green spaces in the neighbourhood and to inform future city planning and community initiatives.
