Synopsis:
Fourth Wave developed a workshop that brought together provincial health, recreation, business and community representatives (including existing walking groups) to explore how to support increased walking in Nova Scotia and to discuss the idea of a provincially co-ordinated walking initiative.

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. The workshop concluded with clear consensus in a number of areas and specific recommendations for the next steps to increase walking throughout Nova Scotia.
