International Walk to School Week

First Week of October

See Event Calendar for this year's dates!

In 1997, Walk our Children to School Day was launched in Chicago by the Partnership for a Walkable America. Canada held its first national Walk a Child to School Day in 1998 with participants from five provinces. In 2000 the first International Walk to School day officially began and today schools from all eleven provinces and territories join millions of students all over the world as they walk to school.
Participating countries include Canada, United States, Mexico, Great Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Italy, India, Australia, New Zealand and other countries.
Join the movement and millions of walkers around the world as we walk to school during this week! Register your school online and ideas, participant items and posters to promote your event will be sent to you. Everyone is welcome to participate!
