Come see Tracker (and Dr. Peter Ross) at the False Creek Community Placemaking Festival

Join us for a day of community connection, sustainability, and climate action at the False Creek Community Placemaking Festival! Hosted by the UBC Sustainability Ambassadors in celebration of SDG Month, this event brings together local organizations, advocates, and community leaders working toward a more resilient, equitable, and climate-conscious False Creek.

Placemaking is about more than just physical space. It’s about relationships: to the land, to water, to food systems, to mobility, and to each other. Through interactive booths, community dialogue, and hands-on activities, people of all ages can explore how sustainability and climate justice contribute to vibrant, inclusive spaces in our city.
