Starting tomorrow for the month of October the City of Vernon is promoting healthy and safe alternatives to driving to school.
International Walk and Wheel to School Month is an annual global challenge.
Vernon students join their peers from over 40 countries around the world in walking, biking or using another form of active transportation to get to school for a day, a week, or if they can manage, the entire month.
Families are encouraged to participate on their own or by joining the activities at their school.
Walk, bike, roll, scoot, skate or skip to school at least once a week and share photos of how your family gets to school using the hashtags #walktoschool and #vernonmoves for your chance to win exciting prizes throughout the month.
The 2018 ParticipACTION Report on Physical Activity for Children and Youth gave Canada a D- grade in active transportation with only 21 per cent of Canadian children walking to school.
