Portage is very supportive of active living and transportation. You can see that with walking paths and several projects currently taking place. City Councillor Brent Budz explains.

"You do look at the construction going on, and the city does take active transportation very seriously," says Budz. "This administration and council have looked upon the connection of our city through walking and active transportation paths. New developments in our area now are getting the consideration for sidewalks. So, it's really an effort to promote active living."

He notes part of the new construction taking place at the moment involves new paved paths and a reintroduction of gravel paths, and similar. He adds it's all part of the effort made by council administration to ensure active living and transportation's addressed and to also keep it in mind for future developments.
