Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s):
For the month of October we are celebrating International Walk to School (IWALK). It’s an annual global celebration of active transportation. Students, parents, teachers, and the school community are encouraged to get walking or wheeling on the journey to and from school. Schools can celebrate IWALK day on October 2 with special events or anytime throughout the month.
October is a great month to spend time outdoors while the seasons change. Students will get the health benefits that time in nature provides, while also enjoying the beautiful autumn leaves. Any amount of physical activity is good for your health.
For resources and support for your IWALK events, please contact me. Additional information can be found at Ontario Active School Travel . Remember to share your IWALK stories with us by tagging us @YorkRegionGovt #YRHealthySchools on your social media posts!
