About Climate Resilient Communities 
Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) is a volunteer-run not-for-profit operating under 
Transition Toronto. We work at the intersection of community, data &amp; AI, and climate change 
to strengthen communities' capacity to bounce forward from climate challenges. Our mission 
is to help community groups effectively advocate for their needs and find solutions to 
environmental, social, and economic challenges exacerbated by changing climate. Learn 
more at <a href="https://crc.place" target="_blank">https://crc.place</a>. 

About the Project 
Counter Mapping Urban Heat Workshop Series brings together community leaders and 
residents from Rexdale, Jane/Finch, St. James Town, and other heat-vulnerable 
neighborhoods to critically examine existing urban heat information and data products and 
co-design more equitable, relevant, accessible, and actionable alternatives. 

Current heat vulnerability maps, warning systems, and data dashboards are often designed 
by and for institutions rather than the communities experiencing the climate impact. This 
workshop positions community frontline workers as expert evaluators and designers, 
examining how existing heat information products fail to meet their needs and envisioning 
alternatives grounded in principles of care, relevance, accessibility, usability, and equity. 

Through hands-on critical analysis and creative design exercises, participants will dissect the 
assumptions embedded in current heat data tools, map how information actually flows (or 



fails to flow) during heat emergencies, and prototype new approaches that center community 
knowledge and priorities. 

Role Purpose 
The Communication Coordinator plays a vital role in ensuring the success of the Counter 
Mapping Urban Heat Workshop Series by getting community leaders and residents in the
