The end of the year schedules multiple celebrations for people of all backgrounds.

Active Transportation and, in particular, the walkability surge in recent months is a safe way to connect with neighbours at a local and regional level.

This is why from Living Streets and the Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House we are inviting you to walk with us!
