The fresh, crisp winter air, sparkling holiday lights, and calmer streets are lovely at this time of year. We organized three Winter Festive Walks in different areas in Metro Vancouver: the Spirit Trail/Lonsdale Quay on the North Shore, Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam, and Mount Pleasant in Vancouver. TransLink kindly provided Compass Cards for participants when we used transit to get to our location, and we showed participants how to reload their cards for future use!
I walk to school!
Surrey Walks Fleetwood and Crescent Park
Here we show you two of the remaining walks of the summer edition of Surrey Walks. Both routes and enclaves are the right options to go with family and little kids. It took us near to 1 hour to complete, but they are not longer than 3km.

Now trending: #WALKING
Walking gets you from A to B
Walking with a purpose saves you time during the day and makes you feel with a higher level of accomplishment than circling a race track. Being able to step outside and go to the market for your groceries, or realize that school is just a couple of blocks away is only one of the benefits of pursuing this urban trend.
Walking for All. Walking with the senses.
Walk for your body & mind. Get out, get walking!
We are all aware of how these months have influenced our lives, but if there must be some positive aspect and some hope in our every day, it is that we reassured ourselves that being able to go for a walk is like a lifeline. Walking might be a light physical activity but it encompasses a huge mental exercise.

Our Response to COVID 19
Like everyone, we have felt the repercussions of the current pandemic. Our team is healthy, which is the most important part. We’re taking it day by day.
Like most non-profit organizations, we don’t know what this will mean for our operations. BEST prides itself on offering valuable services, such as The Bicycle Valet and Parkbus, which operate as social enterprises. The Bicycle Valet provides free and secure bike parking for events, the vast majority of which will not operate this year. Parkbus provides bus transportation to mainly Provincial Parks, which are not currently open.
