Spacing Saturday highlights posts from across Spacing\u2019s blog network in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and the Atlantic region.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the closure of nominations for Vancouver’s upcoming municipal election, Brian Gould takes a look at the early candidates and issues<\/a>; asking if there is Rob Ford equivilant, who will back streetcars or bike lanes and providing a glimpse into Vancouver’s interesting electoral system.<\/p>\n

Brian Gould used the In Depth <\/em>feature to highlight some of his experiences from the Walk 21 Conference<\/a>. Themed around “Transforming the Auto City” the conference placed a heavy emphasis on public health and attracted a wide range of professionals and ideas.<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Abad Khan profiles two significant projects<\/a> that are taking two very different approaches to revitalization in the urban heart of Saint John, both offering their own set of challenges and opportunities.<\/p>\n

\n

The Atlantic Snapshots<\/a> <\/em>feature continues to provide fascinating looks at maritime cities and their history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Guillaume St-Jean’s Montage du Jour <\/em><\/a>feature takes a look at the changing retail face of St Catherine Street as well as long vanished theaters<\/a> and the former site of the March\u00e9 St-Laurent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

John Lorinc used his column this week to pick apart Rob Ford’s assertions about the cost of the municipal civil service<\/a> in response to the Mayor’s escalating posturing ahead of upcoming contract negotiations.<\/p>\n

Spacing profiles this weekend’s YIMBY – Yes in My Backyard Festival<\/a> which aims to turn the tables of the relationship between developers, politicians and community groups in order to build momentum for positive change.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An estimated 700 people took part in a tribute ride along Ottawa’s Queen Street this week in memory of Danielle Na\u00e7u <\/a>who was tragically killed while cycling on the street; Spacing shows a video of the procession.<\/p>\n

Having been involved in local food systems in both Ottawa and her current residence of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Kathleen Courtney is able to provide a fascinating comparison of food systems<\/a> between ‘advanced’ Canadian cities and the highly traditional systems in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
