1 week ago | nextavenue.org | Elizabeth Hewitt

Work kicks off this week on a new park in the central Canadian city of Calgary that will offer flat, color-coded paths that loop through patches of native wild plants and stretches of lawn. An open amphitheater and playground will give community members and children places to relax and play. Benches will offer plenty of places to sit, shaded by trees and pavilions of various sizes and shapes. Like other public parks, the Martin Family Legacy Garden is intended to serve all city residents.

This is not a scene from the past, but rather the reality at a nature reserve in the U.K., where these gentle beasts are roaming free — and boosting biodiversity.

Feb 17, 2025 | reasonstobecheerful.world | Elizabeth Hewitt

A Patient Is a Person is a series about how whole-person health is transforming the patient journey. It is supported by funding from UPIC Health. A large mural of a teacup decorated with a green flower bursts off the white wall on the ground floor of a tall apartment building in the Kebun Baru area of Singapore. A bowl with a rooster adorns another building nearby. Up the street, another tower features a candy with a white rabbit on the wrapper. The paintings are more than street art.
