School Travel Planning-Active and Safe Schools

Bridlewood School is partnering with Ever Active Schools: School Travel Planning this year. The purpose of this partnership is to identify ways to promote more students walking and cycling to school and to identify barriers that prevent families from doing so. Ever Active Schools will have a short residency at our school after the November break. They will be working with the grade six teachers and classes to initiate this work through observation and data collection. Stay tuned for more updates.

Please take a moment to fill out this survey to provide Ever Active Schools with some baseline data:
