Bike to School Week (May 30-June 3, 2016) is a celebration of cycling and
active transportation with the goal of increasing the number of children who
bike to school. School boards, public health units, NGOs, municipalities,
and regions across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area are working with Smart
Commute to coordinate this second
annual Bike to School Week.
Research shows that biking to
school improves children’s physical and mental health, and academic
performance, while also reducing traffic congestion (and related safety and air
pollution effects) in school neighbourhoods. Find out more about benefits here.
