Winter Walk Day
Winter Walk Day (WWD) is an annual celebration of winter walking that takes place on the first Wednesday of February.
Schools across Ontario will celebrate WWD with special events on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022, or throughout the month. Ontario Active School Travel is excited to be bringing back school registrations this year! We encourage schools to participate by promoting walking and wheeling to school and organizing winter-themed walking events.
Register your participation for a chance to win a $200 Scholar’s Choice gift card (must be a classroom or school within the province of Ontario to qualify)!
Please follow provincial/regional COVID-19 public health guidelines when organizing and/or participating in WWD.
