Info For Teachers

The Active & Safe Routes to School program is primarily parent-driven but there are many opportunities for involvement of students through classroom activities that link to the Ontario Curriculum. As well, other school related groups and users can be engaged in the program, e.g. Environmental Clubs, in-school day cares, English as a Second Language (ESL) students and After School Programs. There are also opportunities to network with other schools - both in Canada and abroad.
