Rei Kitawaga joined us for his fall co-op term, supporting all of BEST’s programs as a Project Assistant. As a Master of Urban Studies student at SFU with a strong academic and professional interest in sustainable mobility, one of his goals was to gain hands-on experience in this area. Read more about his experience in his blog.

Throughout history, walking has played a central role in grassroots movements. It’s a simple, accessible, and potent tool of “the people” to build political momentum. From student walkouts and labour strikes, to protest marches, demonstrations transform the public space into a platform for the collective voice. At rest, public spaces afford us the opportunity to socialize, play, unwind, and connect with community. But when politically activated, those same streets and sidewalks become platforms for change.
