Winter Walk Week

Winter Walk Week takes place February 2 to 6, 2026, encouraging students across Greater Sudbury to walk to school during the winter months. Walking, whether from home or from a nearby drop-off point,  is a simple, healthy way to start the day and helps children build lifelong active transportation habits.

Participating schools receive free resource and prize packs, including classroom activities, tracking posters, and small incentives that make the week fun and engaging for students. All materials are available in both English and French.

Parents are encouraged to support their child’s participation by planning a safe route, dressing for the weather, and considering short walks as part of the school commute. Schools can register to take part by January 27, 2026, by emailing lyanne.chenier@greatersudbury.ca.
