Hi All,
There is an interesting
webinar coming up on Tuesday, February 3rd, from
11-12:30pm, the Walkability Roadshow.
"The Canadian "Walkability
Roadshow" is both a model for how to engage communities of all sizes in
promoting walking, and a program available to Canadian communities interested in
doing so. It involves a questionnaire completed my municipal staff in related
departments, a needs analysis workshop, subsequent homework, site visits by
international experts, the development of local pedestrian action plans, and the
securing of commitments from key decision makers."
"The structure of the pedestrian strategy framework is based on the International Walking Charter, adopted by the Melbourne Walk21 conference in October 2006. Communities participating in the Roadshow were audited against the Charter to assess what was being done locally to help achieve more walking, to recognize what the priorities and barriers are for future policy and investment, and to identify what external supports would assist communities to develop and implement effective local pedestrian strategies."
