Participate in month-long events or host a special event to get students and families thinking about getting to school by walking, biking, or rolling!

Our events can be seamlessly tied into the Manitoba curricula for science, social studies, physical education/health, and other subjects. For a list of curriculum ties by grade level, please refer to Chapter 6 of our Handbook & Resource Guide.
