Goliath Triumphs! Penticton came out on top again this year. But Armstrong did more steps per participant. Armstrong made it nearly there, and Penticton made it to St. Johns, then back home and most of the way there again. WAY TO GO PENTICTON!

The true success of any idea is people will start to copy you. EDIS Computers are the original developers of the Steps Out Interactive Mapping Program. While not every program is known as "Steps Out" they all use the same mapping system. Other programs go under the names "Kick It Up Kitimat", "Highway to Health", "Walking Works", "On The Move", "Step Into Action" and "Get Active."

People all over Canada are Stepping Out to New York, Hawaii, Mexico and Brazil with this Unique, Creative Web Solution that allows the participant to see in a visual way the progress they are making towards a common destination.

The independent nature of the program and the use of creative web service make the Steps Out Program easy to coordinate, thus giving the organizers time to create value added healthy living opportunities. In Penticton, Group walks like “Saturday mornings with the Mayor”, and the “Easy Rock Walk” kick-off the fall and spring seasons. Many of these have kept going as people got to know each other. Other organizers have used "Pins" from Cities along the way, and corporate prizes as ways of motivating their steppers. On Vancouver Island a community has put a large copy of the map in their centre and participants can put a flag indicating their position.

The common thread between all these fantastic walking programs is that their technology is delivered by EDIS computers. They have the knowledge, experience and creativity to motivate your participants.
