About the event:
Will you have to keep wearing masks? Will more community organizations re-open? Should you be concerned about COVID-19 variants? We’ve invited Associate Professor Lindsey Richardson to join us via Zoom to answer questions and share her reflections on how some of the key issues related to the current COVID-19 situation could affect the DTES community.
About Lindsey Richardson:

In her research, she’s explored questions like “How does changing the timing of cheque day impact people’s health?” She works as a research scientist at the British Columbia Centre on Substance Use, which specializes in research related to substance use and urban health.
About the Learning Exchange Speaker Series:
This event is the first in a new Learning Exchange Speaker Series where we ask Downtown Eastside residents and community organizations to share their questions about hot topics, and then we find a speaker to provide insights through a community discussion.

Everyone is welcome! Our events aim to be a safe space for people of all backgrounds.
