Share Your Experience
Join us as the City hosts "Healthy Eating Active Living" its second community forum for you to share your thoughts on how the built environment helps and/or hinders the ability to have access to healthy foods and active living opportunities.
The purpose of the forum is to provide a venue to hear the community's thoughts on what helps and hinders their access to healthy food options and physical activity. We'll also be sharing best practices from other jurisdictions on how to address obesity through the built environment (land uses, parks, transportation). The forum will also include information on the Gresham Transportation System Plan update and the Metro-led project East Metro Connections.
This community forum will be held in English and Spanish. Translators will be available to assist.

Saturn Returns
Having been next to invisible for the past two years, the rings of Saturn are now revealing their northern surface towards the Earth -- but you'll need a telescope to see them. The rings are almost entirely water ice particles, with some contamination from dust and other materials. Although Saturn's rings are estimated to be 185,000 miles wide they are also very thin -- just 30-650 ft thick.
Take a guided tour the of Saturn's return with Pat Hanrahan, an expert in celestial bodies such as planets, stars and galaxies.
