Walkability Audit
Aging in Place is conducting an ongoing walkability audit of the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus through the administration of surveys.
What is the walkability audit?
By inviting guests to assess the walkability of UBCO’s socially inclusive community, we aim to eliminate barriers and consider the needs of older adults.
“If an area is comfortable and accessible for older people, it will also be comfortable for others.”
(World Health Organization, 2017)
