Presentation of Golden Foot Walking Award 2022 to Age Concern for their Walking Companion Service
Dr Judith Davey, Ellen Blake from Living Streets Aotearoa, and Lynn Crossland and Stephen Opie from Age Concern Wellington
A highlight of the Wellington 2014 walking year was this talk from international walk researcher Daniel Sauter. Daniel spoke about the important 4 "I's" of walking - Inspiration, Identity, Infrastructure and Institutional arrangements. He noted the joy of walking and 'being' in a place, were as important in a liveable city as moving through spaces, and had some interesting research to show how we spend our time. He commented that he particularly enjoyed the debate during his presentation - thanks to those attending.
