Exploratory walks
As part of the gender-based analysis from an intersectional perspective (ADS+) approach, three exploratory walks were carried out on Sainte-Catherine Street East in the summer of 2023 with people who frequent the street, in particular representatives of organizations working with vulnerable populations.
The participants analysed the physical and social characteristics of the street and shared their findings, needs and issues. In total, 12 organisations and individuals took part in these activities.
The exploratory walks revealed that the street as a whole has a distinct identity, with different functions for different sections. Issues mentioned included accessibility, cleanliness and maintenance of the street; however, its commercial and tourist character is perceived as strong, and participants noted its lively atmosphere reinforces the feeling of safety.
