I'm Rosalind, the new Active Transportation Coordinator at Cycling Nova Scotia! I'm excited to dive into work supporting more people in Nova Scotia get out on their bikes, for any and all purposes.

We are very excited to announce that a new section of the Blue Route Provincial Cycling Network has been opened in Dartmouth. In partnership with the Nova Scotia Department of Public Works, and the Halifax Regional Municipality, Blue Route signage was installed along the Dartmouth Harbourwalk.
