On this season, we’re working in partnership with the University of Toronto Dalla Lana School of Public Health. Together, we are bringing you the Connected Communities in a Time of Physical Distancing project in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this episode, Janet Fitzsimmons, Manger of Grassroots Leadership Strategies at Centre for Connected Communities talks about the important context of institutions in community responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and how they can embrace their structures to work better with grassroots leaders.

You can listen to the first episode here on Podbean (with transcript) or on our Podcasts page.
