Village of Baddeck and Surrounding Area
Cycling Nova Scotia is partnering with the Victoria County to improve walking, rolling, and cycling connections in the Village of Baddeck and Surrounding Area!
About the Project
Cycling Nova Scotia works alongside communities to develop grassroots Active Transportation (AT) plans that reflect local needs, priorities, and visions for the future. Our approach is rooted in collaboration, ensuring that residents, stakeholders, and municipal leaders are active participants in shaping a more connected, accessible, and sustainable community. Through meaningful engagement, we help communities identify opportunities to enhance their walking and cycling networks, improve safety, and create vibrant public spaces that encourage active travel for people of all ages and abilities. The result is a locally informed strategy that not only strengthens transportation options but also deepens community ties—making active mobility a natural, enjoyable, and essential part of everyday life.
