From Theory to Practice: Stakeholders’ Walkability/Wheelability in Burnaby


Saturday, May 8, 2021 at 4:30 PM - 6 PM EDT

How can community members with varying accessibility and mobility needs impact change in their own communities? Come join this session to learn how you can advocate for positive change in your neighbourhood using the SWAN (Stakeholders’ Walkability/Wheelability Audit in Neighbourhoods) assessment tool. The tool has been developed to inform and empower community members. This interactive panel will feature representatives from Creating Accessible Neighbourhoods, the City of Burnaby, and SFU researchers. They demonstrate how this tool was collaboratively developed with real-world input, and how it has been put to work in Burnaby neighbourhoods.
