Coming soon
plazaOPS is excited to be collaborating with 8 80 Cities on 8 80TowerPOPS, bringing the plazaPOPS approach to tower communities
Funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) with additional neighbourhood support from United Way Greater Toronto, and led by 8 80 Cities, 8 80 TowerPOPS: Transforming Underused Spaces to Support Health Equity in Tower Neighbourhoods, is a 3-year multi-disciplinary project led by 8 80 Cities.
