September 14, 2010 –
Green Action Centre’s Active and Safe Routes to School Program announced today that School Travel Planning (STP), a national framework that addresses the issues of sustainability, safety and health associated with the trip to school using a collaborative community-based approach, is being piloted in 12 schools in Manitoba this school year in Thompson, Winnipeg, Steinbach and Fisher River First Nation. School Travel Planning brings together community stakeholders to identify barriers that prevent children from walking or biking and develop a written action plan for addressing those unique barriers at each participating school.
