加拿大投260万加元为Roseau River原住民社区修建多用途步道
加拿大联邦政府10月1日宣布，将投资260万加元，在位于 Manitoba 省、条约一号领地内的 Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation 原住民社区修建多用途步道，为居民步行与骑行提供更安全、更无障碍的出行选择。
这笔资金来自联邦主动交通基金。该基金支持各地新建和扩建步道、人行道、自行车道与小径网络，鼓励居民以步行、骑行及其他人力或混合动力方式在社区内出行。基金规定，至少10%的资金拨给惠及原住民人口与社区的项目。
联邦政府表示，多用途步道将把社区内的日常目的地连接起来，让儿童、青年、长者、家庭及行动不便人士都能更安全地步行或骑行出行，也为社区提供更健康、更可负担的交通方式。
按联邦公布的条件，这笔拨款须在完成与原住民群体的协商要求及环境评估义务、并签署贡献协议后落实。主动交通基金是加拿大首部国家主动交通战略的配套措施，目标是在全国推广步行与骑行出行的健康、环境与经济效益。
Canada Invests $2.6 Million in Multi-Use Pathways for Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation
The Government of Canada announced on October 1 that it is investing $2.6 million in multi-use pathways in Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation, on Treaty One Territory in Manitoba, to create safer and more accessible transportation options for people walking and cycling in the community.
The funding is provided through the federal Active Transportation Fund, which supports projects that build new and expanded networks of pathways, sidewalks, bike lanes and trails, giving Canadians more affordable, greener and healthier ways to move around their communities by walking, cycling and other human-powered or hybrid mobility aids. A minimum of 10 per cent of the fund's money is allocated to projects that benefit Indigenous populations and communities.
The federal government said the pathways will help connect destinations within the community and give children, youth, Elders, families and people of all abilities safer options for everyday trips on foot or by bike.
Federal funding is conditional on fulfilling all requirements related to consultation with Indigenous groups and environmental assessment obligations, and on the signing of the contribution agreement. The Active Transportation Fund supports the National Active Transportation Strategy, Canada's first strategic approach to promoting active transportation and its benefits.
