Walking in Burnaby
Why Walk?
The oldest form of mobility, walking is a fun, healthy and inexpensive way of getting around. It can provide many benefits: walking helps us feel both healthy and happy, helps us reduce impacts to the environment by replacing short driving trips, helps us feel connected by increasing opportunities to engage with our neighbours, and encourages us to spend more time in public spaces, creates vibrancy and encouraging us to use local stores and restaurants.
