About Walkabout: 
 
Heart&Stroke Walkabout™ is an initiative of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia, Department of Health and Wellness and the Ecology Action Centre. 
 
Our goal is to help Nova Scotians discover the magic of walking and realize the physical and mental benefits of walking within their communities.  
 
It’s about changing the way we think about walking—putting feet back on the streets and walking back in the hearts and minds of Nova Scotians. 
 
Walking is an easy, fun activity that provides instant benefits. From feeling great and connecting with friends to supporting the environment, there are many rewards to walking. And, by the way, it’s good for your health too.
