A project to support Nova Scotia reach its active transportation infrastructure goals is moving ahead thanks to an investment of $50,000 from the Government of Canada. Announced by Member of Parliament Lena Metlege Diab, this project will support the province of Nova Scotia in achieving its active transportation infrastructure target.
The Ecology Action Centre's project will consist of three initiatives. The Centre will work with communities in Nova Scotia to identify barriers and next steps for developing active transportation plans as well as to identify projects that can begin development. The project will also improve public knowledge of planning processes through the creation of educational materials for public engagement and monitor progress toward achieving the province's active transportation goals through updates to its web app that provides active transportation planning across the province at-a-glance.
These investments are part of Canada's National Active Transportation Strategy, which aims to create and improve pathways, bike lanes, and pedestrian bridges all over the country. It's a big step towards healthier living and creating tight-knit communities, making a better-connected Canada for us all.
