From the Director's Desk
Last month I invited you to join me in making a charitable contribution to help send kids in Haiti to school. My hope was that at least 40 of you would each donate $10, for a total of $400. Would you believe that we raised over $5000?! The entire amount will go directly to school enrollment fees and supplies for needy children in Haiti. Thank you for your generosity.

Join us this week for the Massey Cities Summit, a major conference on “Constitutional Space for Cities” bringing together thinkers and doers to tackle a key problem: how can we give cities the powers they need to deliver the services we need from them? This event is convened by Nathalie Des Rosiers, Alexandra Flynn, Alan Kasperski and me, with the collaboration of Selena Zhang, Jamie Basian, Darren Chow, and with support from the Canadian Urban Institute, the Maytree Foundation, and the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada.
