LAST CALL🚨Looking for a few more 3&4 year olds for the SUNRISE Study! We’re doing data collection at Dal on Nov 2. Email us!

Oxford St needs bike lanes. Agricola St needs bike lanes. North St needs bike lanes. Chebucto Rd needs bike lanes. Quinpool Rd needs bike lanes. Young St needs bike lanes. Connaught Ave needs bike lanes. Robie St needs bike lanes.

Our #FreeForAll intergenerational play project is grounded in evidence & not just for kids. Here's an article from last year's events, featured in the @halifaxexaminer.ca & currently being written up as part of a student thesis by Caitlyn Macrae www.halifaxexaminer.ca/science/rese...

The importance of outdoor play, today on CTV Morning Live! The 5 minutes went by so quickly and I really wished I’d had more time to talk about bikes. @outdoorplayca.bsky.social @dalhealth.bsky.social @sflkirk.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/vid...

#KidicalMassHfx had the chillest vibes and tiniest riders today. A lot of stuff is hard right now and it felt like at least I needed this more than ever. Just so very grateful for this community! [video description: kids & adults on all kinds of bikes riding in a big group on a leafy city street]

Hi friends, do you know any 3 & 4 year olds in Halifax or Annapolis Valley? Enrol them in the SUNRISE Study! Email [email protected] and we’ll get you booked in! We’re available as early as this Sunday afternoon at Dal for data collection 😀

Morris Street has a school on it - why is Tim Houston trying to make it less safe for students attending it? We just had a child killed in a residential area by a driver. How many more children are we willing to sacrifice to shave a few minutes off commute times? #SafeStreetsNow

Still looking for a few more 3 & 4 year olds for this study! Data collection will be June 21 in Halifax. Please share ❤️ @dalhealth.bsky.social @juliakontak.bsky.social @sflkirk.bsky.social

I'm hearing that councillors who vote against the bike network will have to, themselves, bike to council meeting on whatever currently exists. RIP rural and suburban Councillors.

We dream of doing this ride, and every ride, in protected bike lanes. City councillors, don’t take away that dream.

The failure of IMP implementation was so predictable - lack of ambition, lack of authority & lack of cohesion all played a part in that failure & politicizing the issue will only make our roads less safe for anyone outside a car #ZeroVisionHFX #CaBrain activetravelstudies.org/article/id/1...

Looking for a few more 3 & 4 year olds for the SUNRISE Study! Data collection will be in June in Halifax or Wolfville. Please get in touch if interested and share widely 🎉

New Lancet report out today emphasises the need for a rights-based & person-centred appoach to improve adolescent health & well-being. Just what @juliakontak.bsky.social @caldwellhilary.bsky.social & I (plus others) have been advocating for in #NovaScotia through the work of www.upliftns.ca!

Surprising perk of two kids in a bike trailer: pizza delivery! 🍕🚲

Have you had the opportunity to check out the #UpLiftPartnership website yet? We developed an evidence-informed #StudentEngagement in #HealthPromotingSchools Roadmap to help professionals engage students in school health promotion! @sflkirk.bsky.social www.upliftns.ca/roadmap/

There are so many insights that children have on our environments! It's why I'm so passionate about including their perspectives in research, like this study on play-friendly communities in #NovaScotia with @caldwellhilary.bsky.social www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19...

Our #FreeForAll event today was so much fun, we may do it again! Thanks to the @halifaxexaminer.ca and #Playgroundology for featuring our project & boosting participation! Our rain date next week might see us run a second event - stay tuned! #PlayRocks www.halifaxexaminer.ca/science/rese...
