We are a group of Greater Victoria residents dedicated to improving our region’s shared places. Our Mission is to inspire people, neighbourhoods and communities to create vibrant public places that promote health, happiness and well-being. We focus on what happens in ‘the public realm’ in Greater Victoria – in our places, green spaces, on our streets and informal gathering areas. Placemaking is about bringing neighbours, businesses, specialists, visitors and others to collaborate in creating great places.
Walk On Victoria (WOV)
Walking is a healthy and environmentally-friendly form of transportation and recreation that fosters vibrant communities and provides an enjoyable experience for residents and visitors alike. Despite these benefits and the popularity of walking among residents, the interests of pedestrians are often overlooked. Walk On, Victoria intends to change that through advocacy and events that promote walking and encourage policymakers to prioritize the interests of pedestrians.
