About me

Introduction	We're Jolene, Melinda, Claire and other walking friends. We work at the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia and we started this blog because we are interested in walking and walking issues. Well, Jolene is more passionate about running, but that's another story. The point is, we want to talk about some of the places walking takes us - less about the exercise (although that's important) and more about the places, people and interesting situations we observe along the way. We're also passionate about walking issues and accessibility and want to use this blog to talk about them. We also work on a project called Heart&Stroke Walkabout. This is a provincewide initiative of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia focused on building a walking culture in Nova Scotia. It provides resources for current walkers and it's also concerned with the need for walkable communities for people to walk. The views of the blog are our views; they do not represent the views of the program, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or the supporters and sponsors of Walkabout. We're new to this and we'll grow together. And so the journey begins.
