1) Edmonton is a walker’s dream city. Edmonton is planning an Urban Balcony - Armature project to have a walkway in the shape of a large U to extend over the river valley to allow people to walk out and see the valley from a high suspended point as they did at the Hoover Dam
Edmonton’s river valley is home to the longest stretch of connected urban parkland anywhere in North America. There are over ninety-seven kilometres (61 miles) of biking, hiking, skiing, walking and snow-shoeing trails.
Edmonton has Canada's highest area of parkland per resident Edmonton's "Ribbon of Green" is reinforced by neighbourhood parks throughout the city yielding 27,400 acres of parkland.
NICE WORKS EVEN WITH COMPUTERS PLAYING AGAINST EACH OTHER
In 1980 introduced by Anatol Rapoport in Robert Axelrod's two tournaments, a program was designed to have two players taking turns one after the other who could either co-operate “ be Nice “ or not co-operate. “ Be Not-Nice or selfish” someone who wants to win at all costs.
The strategy which consistently won over all others was the Tit for Tat strategy.
This is where the first player to go picks co-operative as in “ Nice” and then follows suit of the other player.
So if the second to play was previously co-operative the first to play copies that and is co-operative also. If the second player is not co-operative then the first player is not either.
The Edmonton Bicycle Commuters’ Society (EBC), a non-profit society formed in 1980, is a leader in the Edmonton cycling community. They support people using bicycles as everyday urban travel. EBC promotes bicycle commuting and encourages responsible cycling.
They sell used bikes, accept donated bikes, and run bike repair and riding courses. They also operate a volunteer-run community bike workshop where you can drop in and learn how to fix your bike.
Among its initiatives: • BikeWorks, a shop where you can learn to repair your bike and stud your tires for winter;
• Bikeology, events and activities throughout June;
• CanBike, a nationally certified effective cycling course for adults and children;
