Let’s get more kids walking and wheeling to school!
Wilkinson is participating in the TDSB Winter Walk Day. Bundle up, leave your car at home, and enjoy the winter season! On February 6th, join schools across the country in celebrating Winter Walk Day.
Students, bring your own mug for free hot chocolate!
Get your picture taken and put up on our Winter Walk Wall of Fame!
When heading outside, make sure you’re always dressed for the weather. Here are some great winter weather dressing tips from Green Communities Canada:
- Keep hands and head covered to prevent heat loss
- Wear warm, waterproof boots
- Wear a warm coat that deflects the wind
- Woolen clothing helps to retain heat
- On really cold days, wear a scarf over your face and mouth
- If possible, change wet clothes at school
- Wear clothing or carry knapsacks with reflective material – it’s important to be seen
- Below -25 degrees Celsius is considered too cold for walking, so move your walk indoors or select another day
Thank you EcoTeam, for helping us celebrate Winter Walk Day with other schools across the country!
