Janette Sadik-Kahn is one of the featured speakers in “Shifting Gears” – the lecture series on transportation and health that the SFU City Program is hosting with UBC’s BombardierChair, the B.C. Recreation and Parks Association, and in this case, TransLink. Stay tuned for details.
Janette Sadik-Kahn is great.
