Not specifically related to Waterloo Region itself, but I wanted to share this online conference that Daniels Faculty at the University of Toronto is hosting this Thursday at 6:30PM and didn't want to start a new thread. It'll discuss Covid-19 in relation to public spaces, architecture, health and how we can design and build architectural spaces in the future to deal with these events: https://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/events/2...ng-society

Quote:We spend more time indoors due to COVID-19—limiting social contact to reduce disease transmission. Even before this era of quarantine, 80% or more of our time as a society was spent indoors. This has significant impacts on health and wellbeing. Now more than ever, attention to indoor environmental quality and how it effects people is critical to architectural design and building operation. This event brings together five experts on the indoors, from research scientists to building engineers to architects, examining how buildings should be designed to encourage health and wellbeing in this difficult time.
