The following programs and libraries are required, see their respective documentation for installation instructions.
Chart uses an
ExtUtils::MakeMaker build system. A basic build and
install can be made as follows. This will install under '/usr/local'.
perl Makefile.PL make make install
The usual
ExtUtils::MakeMaker options and build targets are available.
Here are some other notes,
Various optional features and their required Perl modules are set out in the
optional_features section of META.yml. Some of the smart Perl
install tools might offer them in an automated way, otherwise look at
META.yml or Makefile.PL and install desired things manually.
The most interesting options include
Finance::Quote (see Finance Quote), Genius Trader and TA-Lib (see Other Indicator Packages).
If suitable modules are available then LWP is set to request compression in
HTTP downloads. Various servers will do this and it saves download size when
the server does. Gzip is the most common and its decompression uses
IO::Uncompress::Gunzip which comes with Perl so should be available
https protocol the
LWP::Protocol::https module is required.
In libwww 6 and up it comes separately and expresses its required supporting
modules. In libwww 5 see its README.SSL on the recommended
Crypt::SSLeay module (using OpenSSL). Many data sources need
https, including Yahoo Finance.
The source for the manual you're now reading is doc/chart.texi, in Texinfo format (see Texinfo in Texinfo).
HTML format chart.html is installed as
lib/App/Chart/doc/chart.html with the source code. It can be viewed
with the Help commands within Chart, or with any browser. The following
make targets can build other formats,
make info # Info make dvi # TeX DVI make ps # PostScript make pdf # PDF
producing files doc/chart.info, doc/chart.dvi, etc. They need
enough of Chart's Perl dependencies installed to run the doc/weights.pl
script, then Info requires
makeinfo (see Creating an Info File in Texinfo) and DVI, PS and PDF require various TeX and Texinfo
tools. PDF also requires either
epstopdf from Texlive or TeTeX, or
ps2pdf from Ghostscript.
makeinfo can produce other formats, including DocBook and XML
(see Options for
makeinfo in Texinfo).
A Scrollkeeper entry
(http://scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net) doc/chart.omf is included
for the manual (HTML form). It can be used by Gnome help (Yelp) and similar
programs. Currently it's not automatically installed but you can copy to
/usr/share/omf/chart/chart.omf and run
The default directory for Chart downloaded data and configurations is
~/Chart, ie. a Chart subdirectory of the user's home
directory. The
CHART_DIRECTORY environment variable can be set to a
different directory if something else is preferred, or perhaps to experiment
or keep some things separate.

District Administrator Magazine: The future is here: New ed tech targets the brain
New products target memory, attention levels and brain's plasticity
By: Alison DeNisco, District Administration, September 2014
Measuring and even changing a student's brain activity was once a science fiction concept. But technology advances are pushing to market more products that use attention levels and plasticity of the mind to raise academic achievement.
"I think it's the direction we have to go in," says Tom Kelchner, director of special education at Goose Creek CISD in Texas, a district of 22,000 students outside Houston. "We have to look at innovative approaches based on research to do something different for students who have reading and math deficits, and we feel these cognitive development programs are part of the answer."
You may read the entire article at District Administrator Online.
Excellent article on recent research around attention, daydreaming and our brain's "default mode".
The human brain evolved to focus on one thing at a time. This enabled our ancestors to hunt animals, to create and fashion tools, and to protect their clan from predators or invading neighbors. In parallel, an attentional filter evolved to help us to stay on task, letting through only information that was important enough to deserve disrupting our train of thought. This filter is what captures your attention when you hear someone mention your name in a crowded room even if you aren't aware of what they were saying a moment earlier — the system is monitoring events at a pre-conscious level in order to promote some events to consciousness and ignore others. This attentional system is one of the crowning achievements of the human brain, and the focus it enables allowed us to harness fire, build the pyramids, discover penicillin and decode the entire human genome.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the twenty-first century: The plethora of information and the technologies that serve our brain changed the way we use it.

Khabib Nurmagomedov doesn't have a Conor McGregor like rep for smack talk, but that doesn't mean he's not capable of making jaw dropping statements.
Case in point, back in November, Nurmagomedov made a couple of comments that became instant classics. Not so much because of what Nurmagomedov said, but because of when he said them…
If you didn't catch UFC 205, then you didn't see Nurmagomedov tell Michael Johnson to quit, as they were fighting, and you didn't see him tell Dana White he's "gonna smash your boy" during the same bout. You can watch the memorable footage below.
Nurmagomedov will face Tony Ferguson for the interim lightweight title this Saturday at UFC 209.

In this bizarrely colorful world that I stand testimony to, camera in hand and a pair of wheels at feet, one fine day, it dawned on me - I could not let life in this cornucopia of dreams, pass me by - unrecorded. With the proclivity of an explorer, hence began a renaissance of beauty, that found its way into my enamored heart, through my faithful lense and into the windows of your wakeful souls. Come, walk with me...

Selling Privatization In China
August 25, 1997
China's Communist Party hierarchy is trying to sell privatization and other economic reforms to the people in order to keep the state sector from financial collapse and push China to the next level of economic development.
- According to a June 1997 World Bank report, about half of China's 118,000 state-owned enterprises lost money in 1996 -- up from one-third in 1995.
- Public-sector industries now consume some 75 percent of domestic credit, and at least 20 percent of bank loans are non-performing.
- Urban unemployment is already near 15 percent.
Mergers are supposed to consolidate unwieldy, massively over-built industries ranging from cars to consumer appliances, and thousands of government-owned factories are to be sold or pushed into bankruptcy. But rather than plunging into true capitalism, Beijing intends to nurture some 1,000 conglomerates, using Korea and Japan as models.
- The pain will come when 15 million workers in the state-owned industries -- 12.5 percent of the workforce at state enterprises -- are laid off in coming years.
- Shanghai has already idled 230,000 workers in an effort to consolidate its bloated textile sector -- sending 150,000 to re-training centers.
On the positive side, four years of tight money policy reduced retail inflation from 24 percent annually in 1994 to just 1.8 percent in the first half of 1997 -- with the economy growing at a 9.4 percent annual rate. Also the new effort to shape up China's economy includes reforming its national pension and health-care systems to relieve the social welfare burdens of employers.

"Double deckers will save road space and increase passenger capacity. And it will make travel enjoyable," Inton told The Manila Times.
"[This] option has been presented [but] the DOTC [Department of Transportation and Communications] prefers [the] bus rapid transit [BRT] system," Coloma said in a text message to The Manila Times.
The BRT system, which was pilot-tested along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City, is being set up in Metro Cebu.
Coloma, a DOTC undersecretary in the first Aquino administration, however, clarified that they remain open to the double-decker bus idea and that it has not yet been junked as an option to ease traffic around the National Capital Region.

Since its publication in 1989, each edition has strived to present a cohesive presentation of power electronics fundamentals for applications and design in the power range where there is demand in industry for power electronic engineers. A CD-ROM has been added to this edition, which readers will find useful in the exploration of power electronics and use of this text. The CD-ROM contains:
* A large number of new end-of-chapter problems with varying degrees of difficulty.
* PSpice(r) -based simulation examples to illustrate basic concepts and help in the design of converters. PSpice(r) is an ideal simulation tool for this purpose.
* A newly developed magnetic component design program. This program is extremely useful in showing design trade-offs, for example, the influence of switching frequency on the size of inductors and transformers.
* PowerPoint-based slides for all chapters that help summarize topics throughout the text.
The text also explores industrial and commercial applications, as well as practical aspects of power electronic converter design, such as snubber circuits, drive circuits, circuit layout, and heat sinks. Please visit http://www.wiley.com/college/mohan for additional information.
A cohesive presentation of power electronics fundamentals for applications and design in the power range of 500 kW or less, where a huge market exists and where the demand for power electronics engineers is likely to be. This revised edition (1st ed., 1989) adds an introductory chapter to provide a review of basic electrical and magnetic circuit concepts; a chapter that describes the role of compute simulations in power electronics; a new chapter on the design of inductors and transformers that describes concepts for step-by-step design procedures; and a new chapter on heat sinks.

THE Supreme Court has ordered the Frontier Education Foundation to convert 80 women lecturers to permanent-based service, which is really a very appreciable step.
Further, it has asked the authority concerned to finalise the process of conversion within two weeks.
We are lecturers in the department of software and electrical engineering at the University of Science and Technology, Bannu.
We have been working on a fixed pay basis for about two years.
The post of a lecturer at the university level is BPS-18, and the gross salary is about Rs60,000 but we are working on a salary of Rs30,000, which is half of what we should get.
The process of selection was the same as is generally practised in our country. We asked the high-ups many times to convert us to regular service but they refused and gave different excuses instead.
Employees are being exploited. The authorities are of the view that in this age of unemployment they could get other lecturers on pays even less than what is offered to us.
I request the federal education minister, KP education minister, the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan Engineering Council and the Chief Justice of Pakistan to investigate the case and convert us from a fixed pay basis to regular contract at least.

MARION, SC (WBTW) – Marion County voters elected Marion County Deputy Major Brian Wallace as sheriff Tuesday night.
Major Wallace is a seventeen year veteran of the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
"It was just overwhelming but on January 3 we are going to hit the ground running," said Major Wallace.
Wallace won the sheriff's race Tuesday night with 84 percent of the vote in a three-man race.
He says in the next four years he plans to continue programs the department currently has in place.
But one of his main goals is to focus on what he loves most listening to and helping the community he serves.
"To understand the community you have to be a part of the community and not only will I do that but my officers will do that," mentioned Wallace.
Community policing along with investing in more body cameras is on Wallace's agenda during the next four years
In a 2013 report from SLED Marion County reported the fourth most violent crimes in the state.
"We will continue to be firm on drugs and drug dealing in the county. We are going to build upon that. We will have more presence with officers working in high crime areas too," Major Wallace said.
While in office Wallace also plans to work closely with county officials and first responders to use every resource available after Hurricane Matthew.
"We are going to be more proactive than reactive in the future not only with the flood but with law enforcement in general," mentioned Wallace.
With deep roots in law enforcement and in the community Marion County Deputy Major Brian Wallace says he looks forward to his new position and will embrace it.
"I've been in Marion County my entire life, raised my family here, built a home here so my roots are very deep in Marion County," said Wallace.

Kareena Kapoor's new film looks to be a disappointment at the box office. The film, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, has earned about Rs. 25 crore in box office collections over the weekend.
Heroine was made on a budget of Rs. 20 crore, and even though it may have recovered its costs, interest in the film seems to be dipping.
The film received mixed reviews from critics.

Out of Nothing…Beauty is born
Sámi are also known as Lapps or Laplanders, from the Swedish word lapp which means patch. It's a recognition of the clothing Saami wear, garments made of colourful pieces of cloth. Many consider this a derogatory term, a sort of looking down on poverty, but for myself it fits well. We were raised to utilize everything, find beauty in usefulness, and to make things useful, beautiful. Everything I do is made of bits and pieces, even my paintings which are cut apart, then reassembled to form a whole of a different quality.
Sámi bracelets are crafted of bits and pieces of renskinn and antler. Tenn, a kind of pewter made with silver spun around sinew, is used to embroider designs of timeless tradition - duodji. Bits and pieces that would otherwise be thrown away transform through patience into beauty.
This year in the studio there will be duodji, tradional bracelets, but also my own interpretations of old stories embroidered with Tenn into reindeer skin. From bits and pieces offered by earth comes a series of Ullas, mythical entities with ancient wisdom.

Grab Your Roses! Arie Luyendyk Jr. Is Your New 'Bachelor'
The new Bachelor may look familiar to fans of the long-running program.
Former race car driver Arie Luyendyk Jr. will be in the driver's seat looking to rev up the hearts of a couple-dozen single women when the 22nd season of the ABC reality show staple returns later this fall.
Good Morning America officially broke the news on Thursday's program.
ABC Breaking News | Latest News Videos
Luyendyk, 35, is no stranger to The Bachelor franchise. He appeared on Emily Maynard's season of The Bachelorette in 2012 and had been in discussions to star as The Bachelor several times over the years. For her part, Maynard wished him the best.
Luyendyk is certainly ready for all the attention that's coming his way. "This is pretty surreal," he told PEOPLE. "It doesn't really feel real yet, but I'm taking it step by step. The timing is just so perfect in my life. I could not be more excited for this journey I'm about to embark on."
Wow, he said "journey," so you know he's a good fit for the show. That word gets thrown around more on The Bachelor than roses and red wine.
Bachelor Nation, start your engines! We are proud to announce the next Bachelor will be….@ariejr! pic.twitter.com/PTCKToIIrM
— The Bachelor (@BachelorABC) September 7, 2017
Someone returning to The Bachelor family is nothing new, of course. Several men and women who competed have come back in follow-up seasons, while Brad Womack has the distinction of starring as The Bachelor in two different seasons.
Casting Luyendyk also continues the show's association with athletes. Former NFL quarterback Jesse Palmer once appeared in his own season, as did the brother of Aaron Rodgers.

Geoffrey Gee, pianist, composer, and former Senior Soundware Engineer at Kurzweil Music Systems, announces the release of Plectrum -a virtual instrument library featuring 187 original acoustic instruments, powered by NI Kontakt 2 streaming sample playback engine. Much more than a tool or content library, Plectrum is a creative work of instrument design. Gee created his instruments from sounds made by plucking, strumming, tapping, scraping, and flicking a range of stringed instruments and found objects. Collecting thousands of full length high resolution samples, he voiced and tuned the sounds into full-range, expressive keyboard instruments. Plectrum´s ultra-friendly interface presents these instruments in nine categories based on the sound source: Strummed Strings, Struck Strings, Plucked Strings, and String Harmonics; Glass, Ceramics, Metals, and Found Objects, and Habitats. Each instrument features a round robin playback that creates the organic feel and texture of an acoustic instrument. The instruments in Habitats use this feature to offer ever-evolving sound environments such as August Morning, Afternoon Rain, Forest Stream, and Crickets.

Goal of the training course:
The training course aims to facilitate the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for a quality approach in projects and activities of EVS.
The methodology of this Training Course is based on experiential learning and non-formal education, in an atmosphere where participants can learn from each other (peer to peer learning) and feel empowered to initiate their projects.
As in previous editions, the practical issues will be worked in small groups and the theoretical topics both in plenary and small group. Spaces for participants to share experiences will be provided as it has been noted that in this way participants are more actively involved in the course. Additionally, open sessions will be held so they can raise concerns or problems on EVS related projects and activities SVE.

Stipe Miocic did what everyone expected him to: knock out Fabio Maldonado with ease. He looked good in the fight, but it is hard to say that the win will catapult him up the rankings, because it doesn't. Miocic fought that fight to get a paycheck and a little more exposure. Certainly, a win is a win and it only adds to his winning streak, but Miocic needs a serious test and a quick turnaround.
Miocic should fight Junior Dos Santos next, because that was the fight that was supposed to happen. With Cain Velasquez set to fight Fabricio Werdum next, the heavyweight division is a little bare for contenders right now. Miocic could be the next contender — and future champion — but he has yet to have that fight that proves that point. Since Dos Santos will not get a title shot any time soon, let's pit these two killers against each other.
Worst case scenario, Dos Santos easily wins and goes on to fight someone else; no big deal. Miocic will probably take the loss as a huge learning experience and come back twice as strong. If Miocic wins though, the Heavyweight division could start to get exciting again. With fighters like Mark Hunt and Antonio Silva still getting huge fights, it would not be crazy to see Miocic have to go through one of them to get to a title shot. But none of this matters unless Miocic does not get a quick turnaround. Miocics' name is already in the papers and the UFC could ride that wave of exposure to get another quick, but big, fight. Let's see if Miocic has what it takes to be a contender.

Johannesburg - Jackie Selebi's time in jail will remind corrupt people that crime does not pay, the Congress of SA Trade Unions (Cosatu) said on Friday. "Cosatu hopes that eventually all those who can't explain their huge bank balances and who can't explain how they became overnight multimillionaires will eventually join him in prison," the union federation said in a statement.The former police commissioner and head of Interpol had 48 hours to report to prison to start serving his 15-year sentence, after the Supreme Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal against his conviction."It is regrettable that a man with such an implacable [sic] record in the struggle against apartheid, is going to spend 15 years in prison for accepting R166 000, a small sum compared to the amounts others are looting from the state through tenderpreneurship activities."Nevertheless, in Cosatu's view, corruption is as bad as apartheid was; both are based on marginalising the poor, most of whom are black in general and Africans in particular."The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) felt the dismissal of the appeal sent a powerful message on the severe consequences of corruption.IFP spokesperson on police Velaphi Ndlovu said: "At long last we have closed this shameful chapter in our history which has severely dented the image of the [SA Police Service] and the integrity and credibility of South Africa as a whole." Selebi was convicted for receiving money from convicted drug trafficker Glenn Agliotti."This is an important signal to send out if we want to successfully deal with corruption in our country," Ndlovu said.The party said the National Prosecuting Authority had done its job well.The Democratic Alliance urged Selebi to "do the honourable thing" and hand himself over to the nearest police station to start his sentence.DA spokesperson on police, Dianne Kohler Barnard said: "This is the end of what has been probably the most controversial and nationally embarrassing court case South Africa has ever experienced."He was the head of Interpol when he was arrested."She would write to Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa to find out what he was going to do to recover what she said was a R17.4m bill for the case.Freedom Front Plus MP Pieter Groenewald said the state would have to look at the criteria when taxpayer's money was used for legal fees of officials."Guarantees should be given beforehand, otherwise it boils down to wasting of taxpayers' money if the costs cannot be recovered," Groenewald said.In its judgment the SCA found the annotations "cash JS", "A", "cash cop", and "cash chief" on cheque counterfoils referred to Selebi.They rejected the submission that the cheques were for an ill policeman Agliotti was helping to support.-- Selebi collapsed and could not walk after hearing that his appeal had failed, his attorney said."He is not doing well," said Wynanda Coetzee.
I appreciate COSATU's point. VIVA VAVI
What 'point' is that..?
The irreparable damage Cosatu has inflicted on the SAcan economy (not to mention a workforce so useless we have lost 70% of the Foreign Direct Investment in about 2 years) and the magnitude of Vavi's bank-balance as a consequence..? All it demonstrates is that crime still pays very well in SA...
"...all those who can't explain their huge bank balances and who can't explain how they became overnight multimillionaires..." - eg the Zuma empire, the Malema/Madikizela-Mandela/YL dynasty, 80% of the current ANC parliament and alike - sound to me as if it would be easier to put a fence around Luthuli House and call it LHMCSC - Luthuli House Maximum Correctional Service Centre.
Why is ANC24 not reporting on the most significant event of the day..?
The fact that the petrol price will ONLY drop by 11c and not the 25c it should have.
PetroSA has been used to fund the ANC before (eg as far back as 2004 - ref the Carte Blanche expose at the time) - no surprise then that it seems appropriate for it to fund the ANC's 2012 frolicking - ie from the rabid fornicating antics of their birthday-bash to the Mangaung p*ss-up...
look whose talking, unions, the corrupt of them all
Ian, if you have proof, take it to the police or the Hawks or the public protector. You are however free to use your right to free speech, but do you not think that it will be more useful to lay charges against you know are doing something wrond. Then onto Hypocrite Mbeki and Selebi, at least we will get some entertainment for the millions you have cost us - let the cameras roll!
Crime doesnt pay only when you fall out with JZ, otherwise you can get away with murder….until?
I hope Cele will go the same way/////
he was only caught with R16600O imagine what he got away with you dumba*ses
If the ANC is serious and does not want to see its members going to jail they should do the right thing and sraping tenders.If they continue with tenders then most of them will find themselves behind bars for corruption.The choice is for the ANC to make.People need work but their chances of getting work have been blown out by tenders which benefit the few ANC connected individuals.
We won't change the tender process until a new government comes into power. I have no hope for that happening and as we have seen it isn't only the black politicians benefiting from it. It has become the only way to enrich yourself in this country. No foreign investment is flowing in, so they are going to end up stealing from each other.
Our bigger problem is the fact that there isn't any financial expertise within the ANC and the ones that should be standing up and pulling things straight are silent. Manuel, Marcus, Gordhan to name but a few. So are they also passengers on the gravy train at the tax payers expense?
I can't believe SARS runs an add warning us to not lie on a tax return, when all the tax money is misappropriated in this manner.
Any positive remark from COSATU should be applauded, because everything in the alliance has so far been negative to vthe future of the country. I am actually hoping for disagreement between the members of the alliance. Point then: A.N.C. pro crime, COSATU agaist-good.
I agree. we have more to gain by getting Vavi to stand up against these corrupt powers than follow them like a sheep.
Scrap out tendering system but obviously your membership will decline. If you vow to continue with tendering system, you must also remember to build a new prison for yourself because the ones we have will be full and you will find yourself sardined with the people you tortured emotionally.
He wont serve a day, the poor sick man. He will be out on the golf course in no time at all.
Why pay the lawyer? She was stupid to take the case on in the first place. If the lawyer is paid from taxpayers money, that is tantamount to tenderpreneuring.
Well put, but not quite in accordance with reality. Crime does pay ... currently ... on a massive scale. It is a national pandemic ... at all levels. Had Thabo Mbeki not been removed we would still have had this criminal heading our police and the World would have had him heading Interpol. Scary!!!! The culture of protecting cabal members subsists. Our President is not removing Menzi Simelane, despite getting the emphatic counsel of a Superior Court! Granted. Simelane has not committed a crime. However the it illustrates the point that if you are connected you can get away with deviance. The arms deal is a glaring example. The Bheki Cele, Nkabinda lease deal "stinks" to high heaven of corruption.

The weather has not been cooperative here lately. Rain, clouds, cold, more rain, so not to my liking. Someone I know said something about the weather being "crispy." Nope. Crispy weather is hot and humid, the way I like it. People like New York in the fall, and the winter time, but my favorite is a New York summer. You know, you can keep "Autumn in New York." I like the way Frank Sinatra sang it, but I just don't want to think about what's coming around the corner.
So I'm having a tough week. Annoying watercolor painting and lousy weather, a horrible combination. To top it all off, the Crazymaker has made an appearance again. Not gonna be fun.
When I was reading The Artist's Way course and Walking in This World, there was the mention of the Crazymaker, how to deal with him, and keep fighting resistance. Those courses helped me stay in creativity mode and to remember it's the process not the result. But there are those that upset the proverbial apple cart, the individual who can throw you off your art path.
The Crazymaker, the Opportunist, makes your life not your own. One spends time with them and not working the creativity. Sound familiar to anyone? They act supportive, but it's a ruse to usurp your talent. If you mentioned it they would balk and say "Who me?" A whole day can be ruined while on a wild goose hunt. The pay-off is you don't work and remember the things you wanted to create that day and didn't. They are not your good mirror.
It's been a long while and my brain has been quiet, happily so. My time is my own. No running, long phone calls with nothing being said, or wasted time. Time away turned into artist dates with myself. I chose whom to spend my time with or be alone. I breathe. I am creative on my own terms. Had it continued I would not be as creative as I have. I feel good. I feel strong. Privacy is a good thing.
There was a reason and they appeared. I could ignore or give in. If I pick up again I'd be the stupid one. There is no way I'm going backwards at this point. Moving forward is the only option. When you taste freedom you just don't want to go back to jail. I'll ignore.

WAC DAY: Thank you Canada for standing up for your cities
Thank you, Canada! You heard the We Are Cities call to action and responded by standing up for your cities.
On October 8th we hosted We Are Cities Day with conversations taking place in over ten cities across the country: Calgary, Halifax, Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa, Saskatoon, St. John's, Toronto and Trois Rivieres. The core question we were asking: did we hear you correctly?! Based on all of the content gathered to date – from dozens of roundtables, online and from key stakeholders – we designed a process for you to help us further define what our cities need. Thanks to everyone who participated in WAC Day and our first set of roundtables, we're distilling your feedback now and drafting the Cities Action Agenda.
In the meantime, we wanted to share a little of what we heard. Out of the 5 Big Opportunities that We Are Cities articulated, Power and Revenue seemed to resonate the most. From transforming community engagement, to increased Federal expenditures on transit, housing and public space, we got lots of great feedback. And it seems like not only did we hear you correctly but we've also sparked a different kind of conversation – a conversation now taking place nationally, city to city and of course locally.
On WAC Day in particular the conversations were not limited to local roundtables. We also connected coast to coast on Twitter. National Tweet-ups were hosted in both English and in French and in total the hashtag #WACDay had 765 Tweets and 190 contributors.
Here's a sampling of what people had to say about the Big Opportunities:
About Local Challenges:
And testaments to the campaign:
The We Are Cities campaign was a great success. 75 roundtables were hosted in 33 cities and WAC engaged over 2,500 people. None of this would have been possible without the help of our partners, convenors, roundtable hosts and participants. So THANK YOU ALL! And stay tuned for the release of the We Are Cities Action Agenda in the coming months.
Join us for We Are Cities Day!
Thanks for your support, Canada! Over the first phase of the campaign we collectively hosted more than 65 roundtables in 33 cities and engaged over 2,500 people. Thanks to people like you, people from coast to coast contributed to meaningful conversations about the type of cities they want.
And now we're excited to invite you to participate in We Are Cities Day on October 8, 2015. We Are Cities Day is the final opportunity for you to contribute your input before we take everything we've heard throughout the campaign and shape it into the cities action agenda.
Through a two-hour roundtable, you will have the chance to provide us with feedback on the framework we're developing based on the ideas generated throughout the campaign – it will also be a chance to deepen the We Are Cities network in your local community.
We're excited for the conversations that will occur in cities across the country on October 8th. So can we count on you? Sign up to host
a We Are Cities Day roundtable today!
Let's stand up for our cities.
