The Walking Track
The Walking Track is a community focused project designed to improve not only the wellbeing of hotel clients staying in the Novotel Toronto Centre, but also the health of residents living in the St Lawrence neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The 15 minute city is a concept already well established with the history and culture of the St Lawrence community, shown through the rich and easily accessible food and beverage cafes. During a time of global health concern, a walking track is a perfect strategy to complement the already established smoothie and salad bars located in the St Lawrence Market. The Walking Track is a financial and user friendly exercise space. The walking track serpentines throughout the hotel, creating pockets for different hotel amenities such as a breakfast/lunch area, conference rooms and lounge space. It further highlights the emphasis on enhancing health and wellness through green nature spaces and pods dedicated for blood pressure testing/diet consulting with health professionals.
