This Wednesday – Winter Walk to School Day!

Don’t let the winter temperatures keep you from being active on your way to school!

This Wednesday join students across the country in a Winter Walk to School.

Winter Walk to School and its fair weathered counterpart, Bike to School Week (held in May/June of each year) are organized by Active & Safe Routes to School – a growing community-based movement that promotes and celebrates children’s active school travel in Canada. Visit their website for more resources and ideas on keeping your trip to school active.
