Nova Scotia Heart and Stroke Foundation and Nova Scotia Health Promotion

August, 2005

This one day workshop brought together provincial representatives from health, recreation, business and community (including existing walking groups) to explore how to support increased walking in Nova Scotia and to discuss the idea of a provincially coordinated walking initiative. The workshop concluded with clear consensus in a number of areas, and specific recommendations for the next steps to increase walking in our province.

Fourth Wave designed the program to build on a presentation by Dr. Catrine Tudor-Locke, from Phoenix Arizona. Dr. Tudor-Locke is an expert in the study of walking using multiple methods developed from training in both epidemiology and health program evaluation. Fourth Wave is especially proud of its project work that contributes to a healthier and more whole world.
