** | ** Karen: I'm with BikeMaps.org, started out of the geography department out of the University of Victoria. It's estimated that only 30% of bike collisions are captured in the conventional data. In 2016 we created BikeMaps.org. It is a form of global crowd-sourcing. There is a peer review documentation online to explain their rationale in greater detail. Near misses, hazards and falls are being analyzed. The pin gets dropped down on a map; a short form pops up on screen, and an anonymous report can be submitted regarding. Collision, Near miss, Hazard, Theft. Potholes, leaves, poor signage = hazard. If something bad (almost) happens = that is a near miss. | ||
The website also has a data visualization page of the hazards in the area. There are apps for iOS or Android. You will receive push notifications from the app if your regular route has an obstacle or report issued. There want to constantly feedback; they are not hoarding the data. It will be shared with the people who helped generate it. There are about 2,800 reports so far internationally. BikeMaps.org has locations in over 40 countries: Canada, US, Australia, Iceland, UK, Germany, (mostly greater Victoria). | |||
We are now filling in data that has not been captured through police reports and other conventional data collection methods. Did you know that is some regions, more accidents may happen on Wednesdays (for ex.). The app can then retroactively connect the weather on the given day and time of the incident report.��Focusing on Edmonton and Ottawa in 2016. Mapping in Edmonton since last summer. Three years of funding. So the data will be submitted in 2019. The app will be live and will not be taken down.��They are asking for our support in promoting this research tool. | |||

** | ** For the 6 six weeks, we have been working with Tamara, predominantly. We have drafted to an agreement. Goodwill has been in Alberta for seven years; we have a Goodwill international affiliation. Goodwill Values: People, Profit (with a Purpose), Planet. Everything that is not sold is upcycling; we use the resources until we can’t anymore. Providing education and employment programs for adults with disabilities. This will be our centralized distribution centre; there will be a "Pound Center," where everything can be bought by weight. This ties back into up-cycling, even down to raw materials such as purchasing glass and metal by weight. | ||
Where we want the bikes to go is into our workshop, not into the landfill. We will refurbish them to increase their value and utility, we are not throwing things into a landfill, at the same time we are teaching new skills, and providing social interaction. We are looking for the development of social skills and transferrable skills.��It will be an engagement center supporting adults with disabilities, who have limited opportunities to gain social and economic skills. Additionally, the bikes give people with disabilities a prominent sense freedom.��We (EBC) support children with disabilities, who then grow up to be adults. The partnership is well aligned with our purposes. These are great transferrable skills to somebody who has a disability. Those real task skills that will lead them to gainful employment. We are anticipating a reciprocal training relationship where EBC will assist the adults with disabilities learning mechanical skills that could lead to employment.��Our goal for this partnership is to provide designated space (3,000 sq.ft). Inside the space there will be racking that will be for our purposes alone. The rest of the building will be shared space. The building features wheelchair accessible spacing and an overhead door. | |||
There are 165 individual Goodwill retail stores in Alberta. | |||
�This is an increase from 18,000 sq.ft to 70,000 sq.ft. total Edmonton warehouse space for Goodwill Industries Alberta. | |||
The center is divided into a bicycle repair area; then there is a separate woodworking area, | |||
They want to be able to refurbish bikes to their retail stores. They want to partner with an organization [EBC] that can help people get into bikes that they otherwise may not be able to afford or be able to maintain without some hands-on learning from our volunteers, etc.��They are developing this space with no funding in place, and no other local community partners. | |||
We were asked to consider what are the jobs, and what are the transferable skills that would help individuals with disabilities? (i.e., Scrapbooking, carpentry, etc.). They are looking for connections in Edmonton if we have ideas. | |||
