Walk Across Canada Challenge
This initiative provides school communities with the opportunity to increase their students’ physical activity levels by integrating walking into their daily routines and across the curriculum.
The Walk Across Canada Challenge is an excellent resource for schools to use for the Ministry of Education’s mandatory 20 minutes of Daily Physical Activity (DPA). DPA promotes that elementary students have a minimum of 20 minutes of sustained moderate to vigorous physical activity daily during instructional time. DPA can help increase children’s energy levels, attention span and improve decision –making skills, all necessary tools for learning.
