An enthusiastic group of 60 community members, City Councillors and professionals attended the 6:45am breakfast conference titled “Creating winning projects for walkable communities”. Resources, neighbourhood walkability scores for Ottawa areas, new city supports for neighbourhood projects, and the recently created Walk Ottawa group were introduced by the four presentations. We hope you will continue the discussion with your friends and colleagues by reviewing and sharing the resources below.
