[getsmart-l] Walk21 Toronto Community Conference

[Janet May]

On Saturday March 1, 2008, local delegates from Walk21 Toronto 2007 will
give encore presentations of their work during a one-day, free community
conference. The speakers will make the connections between walking and
health, streetscapes, active transportation, urban design, literature and
more. For details, see the Program below.

In October 2007, the City of Toronto and Green Communities Canada were proud
hosts of the 8th annual international conference on walking and liveable
communities: Walk21 Toronto 2007 - Putting Pedestrians First. The conference
brought together hundreds of delegates from around the world to discuss
research and action to make a more walkable world.

To build on this momentum and share more of the work of Walk21 with the
local community, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Coalition for Active
Transportation (TCAT) are co-hosting this special conference on March 1st.
Support for this conference also comes from Spacing.

There is no cost to attend this conference but we ask that you please RSVP
because space is limited. A light lunch will be provided. If you would like
to join us on March 1st, please reply to walk21 at toronto.ca or call
416-392-8210.
