What’s Your Pedestrian Story?
#HowDoYouPedest is a campaign by Pedesting that is designed to start a conversation about Canada’s pedestrian spaces, like sidewalks, pathways, crosswalks, and indoor spaces.
The campaign runs until November 30.
#HowDoYouPedest
Anyone can pedest. Whether you walk, roll, or use mobility devices (such as scooters, walkers, or wheelchairs), your voice matters.
Use the hashtag #HowDoYouPedest on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or X (formerly Twitter) to share the challenges you face, what you love about your commute, or a personal story about accessibility.
Even better if you can add a video or picture to your post on your favourite social media platform (or all of them) and be sure to tag us (@Pedesting)!
Pedesting is a new navigation app that helps pedestrians find the easiest, safest and most accessible routes in Calgary’s downtown. While Google Maps is for cars, Pedesting is for pedestrians. Pedesting is a tool that helps Calgarians get where they want to go when travelling via pedestrian spaces (such as pathways, crosswalks, and sidewalks).
Pedesting is a word we use to define everyone who uses a pedestrian space. As someone who uses a power wheelchair, our CEO Nabeel Ramji has never felt like a pedestrian. In fact, even the dictionary definition of pedestrian only refers to those who walk. We created a word that includes everyone.
