Celebrating its fifth year, the district’s two-week GoActive Travel campaign encouraging students and staff to choose active travel begins Monday, May 25 and runs through Friday, June 5.
For parents with work demands and long commutes we encourage families to try the Drive-to-5 option. Leave home 15 minutes early, drive to within a 5-minute walk of school, park safely and enjoy a walk together to school. Eight of our elementary schools have Best Routes to School information showing recommended routes and helpful tips including suggested Drive-to-5 spots. These can be downloaded HERE!
“All drivers, please go slow. Remember the 30 km/h speed limit near schools. And give school buses and everyone at crosswalks and bike lanes lots of room. And remember, if you are riding or rolling to school, wear a helmet! We need to keep our youngest community members safe as they navigate their way to and from school,” says Superintendent Kerr. “Join us for Active Travel!”
