Winter Walk Day may be over, but there's still plenty of time to walk or wheel to school this winter.
Walking and wheeling to school is good for the environment, supports children’s health, and helps them connect with their neighbourhood. This February, ask your kids what they enjoy most about their school journey! #WinterWalk&Wheel Month.
