Wednesday, 4 October 2006, International Walk to School Day
Each October, millions of children, parents, teachers and community leaders across the globe walk to school to
celebrate International Walk to School Day and, since 2003, International Walk to School Week.
It is an energizing event, reminding parents and children alike of the simple joy of walking to
school. It also serves as an opportunity to focus on the importance of physical activity, safety,
air quality and walkable communities. Walk to School activities often become a catalyst for on-going
efforts to increase safe walking and bicycling all of the time.
The 2006 International Walk to School Day (October 4th) was a tremendous success!
