Today is the start of International Walk and Wheel to School Month, also known as IWALK & IWHEEL month!
This is global event encourages students in over 40 countries to travel actively throughout the school day.
Choosing active travel to and from school brings many benefits including:
- Reduced traffic near school entrances, improving road safety
- Lower noise and air pollution from fewer cars
- Higher levels of physical activity among children
- Enhanced cognitive development and brain health
- Improved memory, attention, and academic performance
Throughout October, let’s all get moving! Whether you walk or wheel, every step counts.
