.@OBrien_IPH Thank you Sarah for posting these videos. Staying healthy in a pandemic was challenging and so was completing the research but we did it @uofcknes @BEHealthyLab with @VivoYourLife using #playkits #garmin trackers and systematic observations of play!
We are excited to launch the @DalHPI "Staying Healthy during a Pandemic" series (x5)! I'm glad to be able to showcase my work & the work of my great colleagues. I will post a new video each hour. Here is the first one on the impact of COVID19 on movement.

Couldn't agree more on importance of parks. "Think tank poll found 82 per cent of respondents said parks were crucial to their mental health during the coronavirus crisis." So grateful to have discovered so many beautiful parks in Montreal @Park_People

Research we did showed that this is absolutely true in #yyc. Take a look at how income and pedestrian collisions meet in Calgary, with more detail on our interactive map here: bit.ly/2YVV4lD #yycwalk #yycbike
"Poorer communities also have poorer pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, despite the fact that people who make under $25,000 per year walk and bike to work more frequently than higher-income earners."
