The federal government is investing $50,000 to help Guelph, Ont., develop a wayfinding strategy for its trails and active transportation network.
Supported through the Active Transportation Fund (ATF), this project will help to create a more consistent and continuous wayfinding system that will help residents and visitors better navigate the city’s trails, sidewalks, and paths.
Active transportation refers to movement powered by human activity, and includes walking, cycling, and the use of human-powered or hybrid mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, scooters, e-bikes, rollerblades, snowshoes, and cross-country skis.
The ATF is providing $400 million over five years to make travel by active transportation easier, safer, more convenient, and more enjoyable, in support of Canada’s first National Active Transportation Strategy.
“Investing in infrastructure contributes towards long-term economic growth, supports stronger communities, and facilitates Canada’s transition to net-zero emissions,” says Lloyd Longfield, member of Parliament for Guelph. “Today’s investment will support a more resilient and sustainable community for residents to enjoy for years to come.”
