International Walk to School Day

International Walk to School Day

International Walk to School Day is an annual global event held on the first Wednesday in October.

Since 1999, Active School Travel Peterborough has joined millions of children, parents and community leaders from over 40 countries around the world in organizing community-wide Walk to School Day events!

Each year, Active School Travel Peterborough celebrated the day with a local school, where students and staff join Cool Captain Climate, and other community members for an outdoor assembly and walk around the block.

Local schools are invited to host their own iWALK. Promotional materials can be found on Ontario Active School Travel’s  Walk to School Month page. To learn more about this global event, visit the official International Walk to School Month website.
