Day 2 of the Challenge ...Great walk last night

This is a picture of my Mom Lil Krause and my daughter Sarah out for a walk on the a Nipigon trail (Nipigon, Ontario) last Spring ... my Mom is 85 and an inspiration indeed!

Day 2 ... We had a huge crowd out at the Waterloo Public Square last night at 6:30 p.m.   We headed down the path beside the University for a 5K walk.  The weather is beginning to get a little chilly but as soon as you start walking strong things heat up fast!
Remember that you can start the 30 day Challenges any day just start a daily habit and let us know you are in.
It is a beautiful day today and the plan is to get out as soon as possible to do our 30 minutes ... I will take the camera for a few fall pictures.
The Region of Waterloo is working on a plan to make our   region more walkable ...
we wanted to let everyone know about some public meetings ... if you want to provide some input ... here is your chance!
Please circulate the announcement below about public meetings on the Active Transportation Master Plan for Waterloo Region.  This is condensed from the article in the Record a couple days ago:

“The plan is to make it easier for people to walk, cycle and roll in Waterloo Region,” John Hill, the region’s head of active transportation planning, said.

The first round of public consultations are scheduled and anyone who likes walking, cycling or rollerblading is urged to participate. If you have suggestions on how to better integrate walking and cycling with public transit, the region wants to hear from you too.

Cycle Walk Waterloo Region will contain nine action plans, including the development of a pedestrian network, identifying priority infill projects to link unconnected trails and paths, strategic signing, changing behaviours, a signature project and a monitoring program to measure progress.
