Active Commute Month Wrap-up!

A huge thank you to everyone who stepped up, pedalled hard, caught the bus, and cheered on their teammates during Active Commute Month 2025!

Throughout May, 54 teams — including 44 workplaces and 10 schools — logged sustainable commutes, helping to make Whitehorse a healthier and more connected community.

Your feedback from the pre-challenge survey, plus over 2,000 active and transit trips logged throughout the challenge, shows that there’s a strong and growing community ready to move more and drive less — all year round.

Highlights

  • Winning school team: PCSS Rams (Porter Creek Secondary)
  • Winning workplace team (public sector): Fiscal Force (City of Whitehorse)
  • Winning workplace team (non-public sector): Hvactech (Hvactech Systems Inc)
  • Honourable Mentions: St. Francis of Assisi Secondary, Yukon Home Care Program (public sector), and EDI Environmental Dynamics Inc. (non-public sector) for outstanding team size and spirit
  • Average of 434 active commuters visited our Wednesday morning support stations each week.
  • Team sizes ranged from 3 to 543, with energy levels to match.
  • Top teams with the highest participation rates scored a pizza lunch and media spotlight.
