A POCKET GUIDE
TO
Switch: Open Street Sundays is a transformative event that opens the streets to cyclists, walkers and families, demonstrating how our streets can be used to support a more active, sustainable and fun city. The goal for Switch is to launch a pilot event that will inspire long-term interest and commitment to hold Switch on a regular basis during the summer months. Similar to the enthusiasm generated around the Oval, Switch has the potential to demonstrate an exciting and successful event that inspires strong public support in HRM.

Benefits of Switch: Open Street SundaysThe promotion of self-propelled activities such as +cycling, walking, roller-blading and jogging for all ages and skill levelsAn inclusive event that encourages Haligonians +to engage in physical activity and to enjoy the streets in a safe environmentOpportunity for anyone to try out a new activity in +a safe and inviting environmentA fun & exciting atmosphere with activities and +opportunities to support local businesses

Switch is inspired by a host of hugely successful open street style events already happening around the world. Bogotá, Colombia is credited with pioneering the open streets movement when local community members organized their first Ciclovia event in the 1970’s. Bogotá’s Ciclovia now happens each Sunday when the city opens up 120 km to non-motorized activities. Inspired by Bogotá’s success many communities in Canada and around the world began opening streets in their own cities to grassroots events.
Switch is a collaborative event. Register to volunteer at:http://tinyurl.com/switch-volunteer
