Walk & Wheel Toolbox
Why Have a Walk to School Campaign? Travelling smart to school by foot, bike, skateboard, scooter or transit has a positive effect on a child’s health and academic achievement. Recent research suggests that children who walk or cycle to school arrive more alert and concentrate better than their peers who are driven. Today, 91% of Canadian children are not getting enough daily physical activity.i Your PAC can help change this by organizing active travel initiatives at your school. This resource is designed to be used by any group interested in getting more kids safely and actively travelling to school. Our hope is that the TravelSmart and North Shore SRA initiatives featured in this Tool Box become the foundation for a strong culture of active school travel that fosters the development of happy, healthy, and independent kids year round.
