World of Walking

Combining a love of walking and a passion for geography

World of Walking (WoW) is a new business that develops new ways and better places for all ages to get outside and enjoy walking.

This business model brings together skills in research, digital mapping, content creation and development, institutional knowledge and best practice sharing, with the goal to expand active transportation options and the joy of walking across the Toronto area’s neighbourhoods, business districts, and public spaces.

As co-founder of Walk Toronto, my focus over the last decade has been to advocate and develop better, safer, and more enjoyable ways for all ages to enjoy walking in Toronto.

Walk Liberty

A proof of concept for using the Story Map platform to encourage people to get outside and explore their neighbourhoods, developed into a walking tour for the Liberty Village BIA.

Connecting the Don

Once an industrial wasteland, the Lower Don Valley invites exploration, yet there are more opportunities to better connect places like the Brick Works with adjacent neighbourhoods and ravine trails.

Welcome to Moore Park

One of Toronto’s best kept secrets, the Moore Park neighbourhood has a fascinating history and invites exploration all year long.
