Bike to School Week
Please Note:
Due to COVID19, this year’s Bike to School Week in May will not occur as usual. Instead cycling to school will be celebrated as part of International Walk to School Month next October. Learn more here.
We are encouraging families to #JourneyOutside throughout April and May. By regularly walking, biking or scooting close to home, children and parents can explore their neighbourhood and even practise navigating their route to school.
Here are some great resources to help make the journey outside into a learning experience:
- Use our I-Spy card to hunt for signs of spring. Aussi disponible en français.
- This Sidewalk Smarts Passport helps parents gauge their children’s readiness for independent active travel.
- Follow @EcoSchoolsCan and #EcoSchoolsAtHome for more planet-friendly ways to spring into healthy action.
Bike to School Week is a walk and wheel event celebrated in May.
Students across the province celebrate by wheeling to school. School communities organize encouragement events such as Bike Rodeos, and Wheeling Wednesdays.
The following tools and resources can help plan and promote Bike to School Week:
- Bike to School Week Poster
- Bike to School Week Poster – Editable
- Tips for Organizing Successful Bike Rodeos
- Bike to School Activity Ideas
