Brantford Exposition, July 8

"It really is about building community. The more connections people have with the community, the more they feel connected to it. If people could walk to and from work, walk on their lunch hours, or walk to the store instead of driving, it becomes a habit. It's almost like they don't know that they are being physically active."
Ongoing efforts to include more walkable spaces whenever building occurs will help to change the very fabric of the community and get people moving, said Amodeo.
"Now when we look at plans for building we consider multi-routes such as transit, bicycles and walking. You have got to give people a safe place to walk and make it more attractive so that they want to walk there."
