Complete and Walkable Neighbourhoods in Etobicoke
About the Workshop
A complete or walkable community is one that provides easy access (within a 10 to 15 minute walk or cycle) to a full range of shops and services, housing options, transportation options, and amenities such as parks or playgrounds that meet people’s needs for daily living at any point in their lifetime.
Complete communities offer a range of benefits. They bring people together and are filled with opportunities for social and civic engagement. They attract business and help established businesses thrive. They are healthier, both mentally and physically. And they are good for the environment. Not only are complete communities a key component of reducing vehicle traffic, they create neighborhoods with a strong sense of stewardship of the land.
But how do you transition from a densely suburban and established community like Etobicoke, built around the car and commuting, to a sustainable, vibrant, complete community?
At the workshop, participants will engage with neighbors to
Learn how complete communities benefit a neighbourhood and the mechanisms and barriers specific to Etobicoke that need to be tackled.
Discover what your own neighbourhood already offers and what is needed for it to become a more vibrant, engaged and sustainable community.
Gain tools and support to help you and your neighbours push for a more complete livable community.
