iCANwalk to school...can you?

Make a commitment to walk to school and at school more often throughout the school year – schools, take the iCANwalk to school…can you? pledge!

Green Communities Canada and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, with funding support from the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport, bring Ontario schools a new spin on walking to school or walking at school – throughout the year with iCANwalk to School... can you?

Participating schools record their walking and active travel activities throughout the school year and are then eligible for fantastic physical activity prizes in June 2012.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation believes that every child deserves to grow up healthy and is committed to helping schools create healthy community environments. Spark Together for Healthy Kids™ Jump Rope for Heart and the HeartSmart™ Kids teachers curriculum are three unique resources to help our children be active and healthy. Get involved and be informed here.

Your school can choose to organize a weekly or monthly walk to school/walk at school campaign, or you can participate in Winter Walk Day in February during Heart Month and Spring into Spring in April to June. The key is to log the kilometers walked on this web site throughout the school year to be eligible for prizes selected from Jump Rope for Heart HeartSmart™ Points).

Note: This program is currently only available for schools located in Ontario.
