Mahshid Rezaei, a community planner, urban designer, and artist, will share the story of her journey to Canada, one full of unexpected twists. Alone in a new country, she found strength in the challenges and discovered a deep passion for building connections and supporting newcomers. Through her work with local North Shore governments and organizations, Mahshid channels her story of resilience and creativity to help others feel at home and thrive in their new lives. As an artist, she believes that art, much like community, has the power to heal and inspire change.
