Storytelling Workshop

This workshop is presented by the Sick Kids Knowledge Translation Program.

# About the Workshop.

Storytelling is a powerful knowledge-sharing tool that can help you connect with your audience, get your message across, and be memorable-at conferences, retreats, meetings, and anywhere you speak about your work. It’s also useful when describing the impact of your work to funders and the general public, or when developing knowledge translation products, such as videos.

# We will:

  • Explore the art of storytelling as a method to communicate your work, engage others, and inspire action
  • Examine real examples of stories that have been developed based on scientific projects and annual reports
  • Debunk five myths of science storytelling
  • Learn how to prepare, structure, and tell a story well
  • Discuss the importance of considering/measuring a story’s impact

Mapping walkability for a healthier built environment in Peel Region, Ontario

This webinar is presented by the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health

# Abstract

The Peel Walkability Composite Index (PWCI) comparison tool enables Peel Public Health and the Region of Peel's municipal partners to track changes in walkability by looking at key features of the built environment that are associated with walking behaviour. It includes the following indicators: residential density, access to transit, access to food stores, access to services, access to greenspace, access to schools, land-use mix, and housing diversity. In addition to monitoring changes over time, the tool can be used to identify areas where the likelihood of walking behaviour is high and investments into pedestrian infrastructure and amenities may be of increased value. This presentation will review the first update to this tool, which allows us to compare the 2016 baseline indicators against indicators created using 2021 data for census tracts across Peel.

Speaker: Michael Bennington, MPH, Peel Public Heath
