It’s the first time that I’ve felt like I have a backyard or a neighbourhood while living in this city”
Methodological desire lines
This interdisciplinary Research Note is a reflection on a community-engaged qualitative research project that sought to integrate feminist and anti-racist principles. This Note reflects on a community-engaged project, Park Perceptions and Racialized Realities , with racialized and underserved communities to examine experiences and health equity in public urban greenspaces in Toronto, Canada. Inspired by the photographs and stories of the resident…
Narratives of exclusion
Photovoice can elucidate subjective, lived experiences in public greenspaces. • Deep inequities in greenspace design and planning exist at a neighbourhood scale. • Study insights highlight need for procedural, recognitional and restorative justice. • A Critical Race Theory lens in greenspace design would centre racialized realities. • Exclusionary decision-making and systemic oppressions perpetuate inequities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, public…
The ‘healthy parks–healthy people’ movement in Canada
In this article, we outline progress and challenges in establishing effective health promotion tied to visitor experiences provided by protected and conserved areas in Canada.

This is a scoping review to identify anti-racism interventions in outpatient healthcare settings. Searching the peer-reviewed and grey literature, articles were screened for inclusion by at least two independent reviewers. Synthesizing the socio-ecological levels of inter…
Influence of revised public health standards on health equity action
Although the revised OPHS and the PPM facilitated action on health equity and the social determinants of health, on the whole, this objective could have been better met. The mandate within the OPHS could have been strengthened with respect to promoting action on health equity and the social determinants of health through more clearly defined terminology, conveying a guiding health equity vision and uniting different PHU approaches to addressing h…
