How It Works
Register as a neighbourhood or school participant. Login to enter your distance travelled during Active Commute Week.
Log your distance travelled by walking, running, cycling (including e-bikes), skateboarding, rollerblading, scootering, and mobility aids. Whether you’re heading to the store, park, school or work, log your kilometers (Km) for your neighbourhood or school.
Track your daily Km and enter your daily stats. The live tracker will show how each school and neighbourhood is doing in real time! Also track the kilograms (Kg) of greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide equivalent) (GHG) you avoided from entering the atmosphere.
