Vision
FreeTheFoot's vision is greater health, wellness, and happiness of Hamiltonians. Accessible transportation via movement and through nature is key to physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
We believe in doing our part in educating, partnering with like-minded groups, and advocating for our cause. In doing so, we support systemic change.
Values
Interconnection
The recentering of movement and nature in city centres is necessary for a happier body, community, and life.
Movement
After years of observing clients and trends, we aim to address many (reversible) health and wellness issues, beginning with movement patterns.
Nature
Access to clean air, clean water, and immersion in nature makes walking feasible.
