2019-2020 Next Generation of Parks™ Event Series, featuring Mitchell J. Silver
Join us for opening night of the 2019-2020 Next Generation of Parks™ Event Series, featuring Mitchell J. Silver, Commissioner of NYC Parks.
In 2014, the City of New York launched the $285 million Community Parks Initiative, which reinvests in historically underfunded neighborhoods that have higher concentrations of poverty, are densely populated, or rapidly growing.
One of the most acclaimed urban planners in the United States, Commissioner Silver will bring his characteristic humor and insight to this presentation and share how New York is concentrating on four critical aspects of parks:
1. Swapping out asphalt for greenspace
2. Planning for an aging population and multi-generational use
3. Seamlessly integrating the public realm through Parks Without Borders
4. Leveraging parks as “the first line of defense” in climate change.
As Minneapolis and cities throughout the metropolitan area seek to equitably invest in our parks by connecting people to nature, adapting to a changing climate, and supporting community health, Commissioner Silver has a lot to share with us about the value of inclusion, planning for a new future, and thinking about who truly benefits from parks.
As always, this is a free event.
Time: Reception at 5:30pm, program at 6:30pm
Location: Aria, 105 N First Street
Each year at their Civic Celebration, the Citizens League gathers Minnesotans from diverse backgrounds, political parties and ideologies for an evening to appreciate what makes us unique: an enduring civic culture, innovative leadership and a commitment to public service.

They will honor two leaders who promote civic action, seek collaboration between diverse communities and continue to dedicate their lives to the common good in Minnesota: former Minneapolis Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton and former U.S. Senator David Durenberger. Join them and fellow Minnesotans from across the political spectrum to recognize the civic leadership that has inspired Minnesota.

More than 200 shows a year. Jubilant fans who follow him from Minnesota to Mexico. More than 70,000 albums sold. A crushing live-performance DVD. And now even a state-of-the-art nightclub named after one of his songs — all without the support of a major record label…
Meet GB Leighton, a band named after one of the region’s most incendiary live performers and consistently eightonsolid songwriters, Brian Leighton. Through more than a decade and nine studio albums, Leighton and his six-piece band have been tearing up rock clubs, church fundraisers and even a few fan’s living rooms with a slew of songs that connect with the heart and couples singing along out on the dance floor. “A man of the people” is a phrase usually reserved for statesmen and politicians, but for Leighton, whose politics are more conservative and libertarian, it’s a fitting description when you see him in action working a joint, or on his 2006 DVD, Live at the Minnesota Music Café.

About "Swede Hollow":
Gustaf and Anna Klar and their three children dream of starting over when they leave Sweden for New York, finally settling in a cluster of rough-hewn shacks in a deep, wooded ravine on the edge of St. Paul, Minnesota. This haunting story of a real place echoes the larger challenges of immigration in the twentieth century and today.
