"We need to work harder & put more energy/funding into those areas of the city & the downtown. We're encouraging more people to live in the core to live in areas that are absolutely devoid of trees. We need to be cognizant of that as Calgarians & what we expect from our city."

"It's important to recognize the climate benefits of having trees with #UrbanCooling. It's measurable. With more severely hot days it's important people are able to escape that heat. Streets with a canopy are much more cool than untried streets, getting back to equity & health."

"The #SoftFascination phenomenon occurs when you're in a #NaturalArea & just naturally start paying attention to the trees, the leaves blowing in the wind etc. You don't have to work to have that experience. It's very conducive to rest, a restorative feeling & taking away stress"

"I think those pieces of data tell us this is a health issue where some people in Calgary are having poorer health experiences & outcomes simply because of where they live and the fact that they do not have the same natural areas and green spaces that other parts of #YYC have"

"The evidence is very strong for a forested area having very strong health benefits, both physical benefits, things like cardiovascular health but mental health benefits as well. It's really important for our mental health to be able to see natural areas and trees in particular."

"One of the goals of the Calgary Climate Hub's new #TreeEquity tool is to drive policy change & encourage funding for these neighbourhoods that just don't have that #TreeCanopy canopy cover."

"It's a perfect matchup of vulnerable neighbourhoods & populations along with low #TreeCanopy cover. That's something that's common all across North America, so Calgary's not unique in that sense, but it's something that we can really back up with data as well." #TreeEquity #yyc
