Bow River – Alberta

2023

“I particularly enjoy the pathway along the Bow River. I can go downtown, to grocery stores and shops in good time. I can choose to walk, run, or bike.  I can stay connected with nature- with expanding view of the river, the meadow along the hills, the regular sights of geese, beavers, birds…Across the train track, I can walk along the river or get lost among trees.  I could feel connected to the story of the Canadian railroad, the lives of those who helped build the city and the respect for contemplative space in the middle of the city.” (Booklet Positive Lived Experiences of Quality in the Built Environment 2023, p.243).
