The Legacy Project has brought together a new Group of Seven. They are experienced, respected, big-picture thinkers serving as guides in our intergenerational, bioregional systems work.

We're facing a polycrisis – converging climate, environmental, economic, political, technological, social, health crises. Let's #ChangeTheStory – the story we have about what it means to be human, our relationships with each other and the planet, and the meaningful actions we can take in the context of lifetimes across generations.

We're connecting the dots across seven broad themes:

Environment/Climate Change – Graham Saul
Executive Director, Nature Canada
Metcalf Innovation Fellow

Economy – Ann Armstrong
Retired Social Enterprise Initiative Director,
Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto

Education and Lifelong Learning – Carol Campbell
Professor of Education, University of Glasgow

Health – Gary Bloch
Family Physician, St. Michael's Hospital
Associate Professor, Family and Community Medicine,

Community – Janelle Hinds

Life Course and Aging – Peter Whitehouse

Indigenous Worldviews/Knowledge – Dan Longboat

Together, we're working on social regeneration (generations in community) and ecological regeneration (community in bioregion) to #ChangeTheStory for ecopsychosocial wellbeing.
