Exploring the issue of crowding in public parks and how it specifically affects people with mobility-related disabilities is at the centre of VIU Master of Arts in Sustainable Leisure Management (MASLM) student Hannah Dudney’s research.
She recently received a scholarship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to continue her work.
