About
Culture Days - Community Soundscape
Seeking Calm in Covid Times. This is a 60 minute, self-directed, 5 km mapped ‘Soundscape’ walk, perfect for family, or physically distanced friends (as health regulations allow at this time). Follow our map, stroll, pause and listen to the sounds of urban public and domestic spaces. Stopping at each designated location along the route, listen to what you hear, view a wave form image and express your reactions to create a word cloud to share your experience.

Organizer
Town of Newmarket
The Town of Newmarket's Innovation Strategy contributes to sustainability of service delivery by offering new ways to optimize traditional modes of service as customers are increasingly expecting their government to be able to deliver faster, better and easier access to services. The strategy sets the framework to provide the opportunity to consider the digital economy when implementing projects. By embedding new innovative ways of thinking about services and service delivery and through the use of technology such as analytics and trends analysis, we can further improve decision making and ultimately the livability of the community. Working closely with our GIS Team, allows the Recreation and Culture Department to deliver innovative programming as exampled in this Soundscape Walk experience.
