A Message to Parents & Caregivers

To School and Back Again – Make it an Active Trip

There are many great reasons to walk to school - it’s healthy, environmentally friendly, and a great way to make new friends.  Walking to school also helps children be ready to learn!  Talk to your school principal and other parents about how you can work together to make walking to school an active and safe activity for everyone. 

Choose to walk, bike, or rollerblade to and from school instead of using the car!  For more ideas check out Active and Safe Routes to School and Smart Commute Hamilton.
