Pedometer Lending Program Nova Scotians can borrow a pedometer at their local libraries and C@P (Community Access Program) Sites, thanks to a partnership between Heart&Stroke Walkabout™, Nova Scotia Public Libraries and C@P Sites.
Heart&Stroke Walkabout™ has expanded its outreach to include pedometer lending kits in French at select Francophone Libraries and C@P Sites across the province. In total, 60 French pedometer kits were distributed. 30 are available at libraries and 30 are available at C@P Sites. Pedometers are a great tool to use to track walking steps and monitor progress. Now you can access all the benefits of a pedometer through a loan before deciding if owning one is right for you. Each Walkabout pedometer kit includes a pedometer to count your steps, information about walking and about the pedometer, links to local walking groups, a survey and other materials including a logbook to track your progress. The walking logbook is yours to keep. However, you can always track your steps on our website. Sign-in or register today. If you don’t already have an account, it’s free to join and you can find local walking groups and routes. Create your own group to get your family and friends in a fun contest! The pedometer lending program is a partnership with the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia Public Libraries and C@P Sites, and made possible in-part through the support of Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness. Already borrowed a pedometer? Let us know your experience. Come and discover the many benefits of walking – physical, mental, social and environmental – and we think you’ll be hooked.
