Lisa Slakov has been exploring cities and wilderness areas all her life and has many thoughts on what makes them great. Having seen how most of the best loved cities in the world are people-oriented in their public spaces and plans for getting around, Lisa has been working to help Vancouver be even more engaging through great activities and movement in our public spaces. She has focused on active transportation - biking, walking, running, hopping - in Vancouver for years. To this end, she has been very involved with Active to School campaigns, HUB Cycling and is on a city citizen advisory group, the Active Transportation Policy Council.
