This May 2025, Whitehorse schools are invited to participate in Active Commute Month — a friendly challenge that encourages students, teachers, and families to walk, bike, roll, or bus to school at least 3 times per week. Let’s move toward a healthier body, planet, and a stronger school community!
How It Works
- Register your school as a team
- Create optional class or club sub-teams
- Students, staff and parents log trips online (daily or weekly)
- Trips must be active and outdoors
- Watch your school climb the live leaderboard
Win Prizes
Compete for awesome mid-month and grand prizes — including a pizza lunch for the winning school team! Top teams are also featured in local media and City of Whitehorse platforms!
Don’t Miss Support Station Wednesdays
Fuel up with free snacks and high-fives from 7:30–9 AM during Active Commute Month at:
