BCAHL is on the ground – getting BC on the Move.īC Recreation and Parks Association’s Built Environment and Active Transportation (BEAT) Initiative is focused on creating more supportive environments for physical activity by addressing community design, policy and transportation planning. And planners, civil engineers and other key stakeholders are being brought together to identify ways to plan for more active communities. This initiative, led by the BC Recreation and Parks Association and the Union of BC Municipalities, prepares them to make the most out of infrastructure funding opportunities available to communities. However, rural and smaller communities are often limited in their ability to design pedestrian and cycling-friendly neighbourhoods.
Increased awareness + safe opportunities for walking and cycling = more physically active neighbourhoods.
