It’s the perfect opportunity for parents and kids to get outside together and stretch those legs! So get active on your school journey and join the movement!
By walking to school during winter both children and adults gain these benefits:
Making new friends
Getting more natural light and fresh air
Getting a more intense workout for your heart
Boosting your mood
Reducing illnesses
Burning extra calories
Keep active this winter and join schools across Canada to celebrate Winter Walk Day.
Dressing warmly for a brisk winter walk can be exhilarating and fun – give it a try on February 6!
We are actively recruiting Walk Leaders to walk children to school weekday mornings at Chicopee Hills PS and Sandhills PS throughout the winter.
