Walk with Ottawa Public Health Staff to learn about the benefits of walking and tips/tools to help you walk more and stay safe.

Join us on a 2-km walk in and around Parliament Hill. Learn about the benefits of walking and tools available to make it fun and interesting to walk every day. Learn about pedometers and where you can borrow one for free. You'll also get tips for choosing a good walking route and staying safe on the roads.

Cette promenade a également lieu en français (mêmes heure et lieu).
