In May 2011, Get Active Toronto released its “Report on Physical Activity in Toronto” revealing continued low rates of physical activity among school age children, and went on to state “Research indicates that something as simple as walking to school is a positive indicator towards children achieving the recommended levels of physical activity. Toronto children who walk to school are twice as likely to achieve recommended levels of physical activity in comparison to children who were driven to school.

What is Walking Wednesday?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Walking Wednesday is a fun, spirited, and important way to promote an active healthy lifestyle for our children. At Allenby, Walking Wednesday is held on the first Wednesday of every month. Students are encouraged to walk to school, and upon arrival tell their room number to a tally volunteer (look for the students in vests with clipboards). The classroom with the largest number of walkers will win the coveted Stinky Shoe Award for the month! If you have to drive, try to park a couple of blocks away and walk the rest.<\/p>\n
