Canada Walks launches Walk Friendly Ontario


"Walk friendly communities are the most desirable places to live, work, play, and do business!

Walk Friendly Ontario is a recognition program that encourages municipalities to create and improve spaces and places to walk using tiered bronze, silver, gold, or platinum designations. To participate, municipalities complete an assessment that measures progress on a range of factors including walking infrastructure and amenities, planning and policies, education and encouragement, engineering, enforcement, and evaluation.
