for many of us, enjoying outdoor spaces in the warmer months helped us deal with feelings of isolation from the pandemic.

the problem with the winter is that there's not a lot of incentive to get outside...

1395
Female
yet, it is incredibly important for us to do so...
O
4.2

Female
...social isolation. social connectedness is so important, and our one way to connect with others safely is to do so outdoors.
O

4.6
1395

we need to actually embrace and enjoy it.

Female
absolutely. and, again, i think there is just...
H
4.6
4.6
5.6
1395
Female
i think where it does help is that i think even to see other people...
N
3.4
3.4
3.8
1395
Female
...so certainly in my research, i've found that in the context of public spaces, that visual assurances of sociability are very beneficial to people.
N
4.2
4.8
4
1395
Female
so in other words, seeing other people doing things is important to our wellbeing...
X

4.8

4.2
1395
Female
but it's an incredibly festive atmosphere.
N
3.4
4.2
3.4
1395
Female
it encourages sociability. it encourages us to...
N
3.8

4.6
1395
Female
for instance, it's very popular right now for food trucks to populate certain public spaces.
H
3
4.4
3.6
1395
Female
you can aestheticize, incorporate art in all its different variations.
H
4
5
3.8
1395
Female
...adding some sort of quirky element or feature that just attracts attention...
H
4.8
4.6
4.6
1395
Female
...and engages passers-by in activities that they might not otherwise engage in.
N
3.8

3.8
1395
Female
...buyer pits in public, whether it's parks or frankly extended streets that are closed to traffic...
N
3.2
4
3.6
1395
Female
these would be great ways to encourage people to come outside. it would be...
H
3.2
5.8
4.2
1395
Female
...some place that they could stay warm, that they could socialize with other people at a safe distance...
X
3.8
3.8
4.4
1395
Female
...but also create an atmosphere that is really encouraging people to embrace the outside.
H
2.6

4
1395
Female
i think there's a lot of potential for public spaces in particular...
H
4.4
4.4
4.6
1395
Female
i think we just have a culture where...
N
3.4
3.8
4
1395
Female
...we fail to embrace winter to its fullest and enjoy it.

Female
...tell you, and ottawa's probably even colder.
H

5.4
4.8
1393
Female
i think we've just failed to see the potential in our local localities. i...
S
3.4
3
4
1393
Female
so i think that it just takes imagination and creativity.
O
3.8
4.2
3.8
1393
Female
...very applicable right now when we're forced to stay local...
O
3.8
3.6
4.2
1393
Female
i think that there is tremendous potential for regions to identify themselves as winter cities that attract people.

Female
to them. we did some great things during the warmer months of the pandemic.
X
4
4.4
4
1395
Female
... needed a great atmosphere in many downtown cores across the country.
H
4.2
4.8
4.4
1393
Female
there were tremendous efforts to get people active, to get people outside, to engage in physical activity, to engage in sociability-
O
4.8
4.8
4.8
1395
Female
... in safe ways, and yet-
O
3.8
4.4
3.6
1395
Female
... municipalities opted to scale back those efforts and i think that was really shortsighted.
S
3.6
3.4
4
1395
Female
so i was in guelph in the summer and i was really impressed with some of the efforts that they've used there to track people downtown-
X
4.2
4.6
3.8
1395
Female
... which is unfortunate because i think that a lot of us need a reason to get outside during the winter.
S
3.8
2.6
4.8
1395
Female
i certainly would go for a hot chocolate or a donut or whatever it might be, if there were more of an exciting atmosphere outside instead of hunkering down and-
H
5.2
4
4.8
1395
Female
... encouraged their residents to get outside to encourage tourists to come visit them.
X
3.6
4.2
3.8
1395
Female
it seems to me that a lot of these activities would cost public money-
O
4.4
2.8
4.4
1395
Female
... particularly a time when our communities have seen some economic losses.
S
3.6
3.8
4
1393
Female
getting in their way. but on the other hand-
X
4
4.4
4.2
1395
Female
there are a number of initiatives that we already are engaged in.
N
2.8
4
3.4
1395
Female
... there are different amenities that we have available in our cities that i think are outstanding-
X
3.2
4.2
3.8
1395
Female
... low cost initiatives that pay off tremendously when it comes to engaging people.
X
3.4
4.8
3.8
1395
Female
it also gives an opportunity for businesses to thrive-
X
3.4
4.4
3.6
1395
Female
in other words, they can be part of the solution in terms of offering hot chocolate stands or offering their services in ways that actually appeal to other people.
H
4.8
4.8
5
1395
Female
so these are things that have great potential when it comes to engaging not just the city and causing it to spend money.
O
3.6
4.6
3.6
1395
Female
we look at each other with sort of a nod and we say hello. and it's nice because we realize we're in the same storm, i guess.
H
5
5.6
4.8
1395
Female
i think that that's a really important activity in which people need to engage, again-
H
3.8
4.4
4
1395
Female
... but simply going out for a walk in your neighborhood has tremendous health benefits.
X
3.6
3.6
3.8
1395
Female
and in a pandemic or any sort of situation where we feel more vulnerable living in our communities-
S
3.6
2.8
3.2
1395
Female
... the best way to address that is to ensure that we feel like we have connections with our neighbors and-
O
4.6
4
5.2
1395
Female
... as sociologists say, that is-
N
3.2
4
3.8
1395
Female
... we start to strengthen our relationship with those around us.
S
3.6
4.2
3.8
1395
Female
we nod at them. that may actually evolve into them becoming an acquaintance-
N
3.8
4
4.4
1395
Female
that makes us better off and healthier.
N
2.8
4

1395

so i've been tweeting a lot about winter strategies and embracing the winter and-
