Workshops in Your Community
For the past three years we have been delivering and custom designing Complete Street Workshops with the support of Transport Canada.  We are now making our workshops available to any city or region in Canada.  We work with you the municipal decision maker, the transportation advocate or other interest group to research and deliver an engaging, insightful and inspiring workshop that will take your region one step further down the road to creating more livable street in your community.

Complete Streets Workshops
Why is it that North Americans are so tied to our cars? Is it because of the distances we need to travel, or the challenges presented by our climate? Whatever the justifications for this dependency, the reality is that since the 1950s our communities have been engineered and planned around private vehicle use, and this has typically meant the sacrifice of other, more sustainable forms of transportation.

We are currently partnering with the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) and Transport Canada to offer Complete Streets workshops to any regional community (population 5,000 to 100, 000) in Alberta.
