The IWALK Club

The IWALK Club makes physical activity FUN! And it can help reduce car trips to the school; encourage walking and active travel; reduce pollution and climate change emissions; while promoting healthier lifestyle choices for students and their families.

Join the IWALK Club today! Register your school for the IWALK Club and you will receive IWALK Club cards and golden sneaker stickers for your students. Schools can challenge classes to walk across Canada or even walk around the world - when registering check the Cross Canada Walking Poster and Walk Around the World Poster. All activity ideas are curriculum-linked.

ALL STUDENTS CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE IWALK CLUB

  • students who come to school on a school bus can participate in related in-school activities such as Kilometre Club, Walking Club or community walks
  • students who take transit already have to walk part way, so they qualify 
  • students who have to be driven can encourage their parents to park safely and ‘walk a block’ (schools are encouraged to set up ‘walk-a-block’ zones around their school; students who are unable to walk all the way to school can still qualify for a stamp on their club card if they have walked at least from the start of the ‘walk-a-block’ zone. Walk-a-block zones are typically a minimum of two full blocks from the school. Local municipalities can work with schools to identify suitable areas.)
  • students who live within walking distance can walk or use other active travel to get to school as often as possible
