Civic hacknight #405 - Reducing urban noise for a healthier city (VIRTUAL)

*This is the virtual registration for this event. To attend in person, please RSVP here.

Topic: Reducing urban noise

• Join Ingrid Buday, founder of No More Noise Toronto to see how you can help create a more healthy, inclusive and social city by reducing noise. We are launching two opportunities for people to get involved: a No More Noise Event where people can win prizes by submitting noise reports, and a civic tech project to build automated noise sensors. nomorenoisetoronto.com

Speaker: Ingrid Buday

• Ingrid started gathering sound level data two years ago, and since then has been collaborating with people who care about their soundscapes. She has been in the media, deputed on noise and is working with local groups to gather data to create an evidence based argument to reduce the noise in our cities in advance of the Noise Bylaw Review in Q4 of 2023.

Come and be part of it!
