“Rainbow Routes Association”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Incorporated in 1998, Rainbow Routes has built recreational and commuter routes—200 kilometres winding throughout the city—for residents and tourists to enjoy by walking, hiking, jogging, cycling, in-line skating, skateboarding, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing.^[2] They provide free trail maps that are available throughout Greater Sudbury at tourist information centres, libraries and at their website.^[3]

This organization maintains a legal agreement with the City of Greater Sudbury to build non-motorized trails, renewable every five years.

The 2016-2020 Strategic Plan for the organization identifies high level priorities in:

Accomplishments

Programs

Rainbow Routes Hike Club

The Rainbow Routes Hike Club was formed to provide an opportunity for people to explore local routes in a safe, friendly environment. Hikes are generally two hours long and range in difficulty from easy to challenging. Each month a new trail is selected in order to provide a sampling of the trails in the City. Hikes run on the first Saturday of each month between October and June from 10am to noon.^[15]^[16]

Sudbury Cycles Project

The goal of this project is to establish the conditions necessary to make cycling safe for and accessible to Greater Sudburians of all ages, abilities and incomes thus creating a more active and healthy community with fewer cycling injuries.^[17]

The project was made possible through funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion^[18] and partnerships with the Sudbury & District Health Unit, City of Greater Sudbury and the Social Planning Council of Sudbury .

Sustainable Mobility Plan

In 2010, the organization took the lead on the development of a Sustainable Mobility Plan for the City of Greater Sudbury which emphasizes the importance of walking and cycling for the purpose of personal transportation and not just for leisure.^[19] In response to a request from the City of Greater Sudbury Healthy Community Cabinet, a partnership was formed between City staff the Sudbury & District Health Unit, The greater Sudbury Social Planning Council, YMCA Sudbury the Sudbury Regional Hospital and Rainbow Routes Association. Through this partnership, funding was secured from the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion to develop a Sustainable Mobility Plan for Greater Sudbury.^[20]

The concept of sustainable mobility refers to the ability of individuals to move freely within

their communities, and it generally refers to non-motorized modes of transportation. The

Sustainable Mobility Plan (SMP) for the City of Greater Sudbury is anticipated to move the

community forward in terms of active transportation strategies and initiatives. With a focus on

low income populations the plan will examine the mobility of individuals and the impact

Learning through Trails

From 2007, Rainbow Routes Association developed the Learning through Trails program which is an innovative program that integrates the Ontario Ministry of Education elementary curriculum with the physical activity of a trail walk.^[22] Close to 2700 students and hundreds of educators and volunteers have participated in the program since its inception. Survey responses indicate that over 96% of students enjoyed their experience and 93% would recommend it to other classes. 100% of educators indicated that they had a positive experience and would recommend the program to their colleagues.^[23]
