Introducing: HASTe’s Active and Safe Routes to School Toolkit hastebc.org/introducing-hast…
How far is too far to walk? Or is it the treacherous crossing that's the problem? That can be fixed! "Walking the distance: Parents challenge rules that keep kids off school buses" /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/canada/a… #walktoschool #pedestrian safety #activeschooltravel
The obligatory September message about back to school road safety - But remember, there is another way. Check out our website for more on how your school can reduce traffic globalnews.ca/video/4427319/… #walktoschool #backtoschool #activetransportation #activeschooltravel #biketoschool

Drivers should pay for the roads that they drive on, and those roads should be regulated in a way that protects the safety of other users. @OntarioAST ow.ly/jsNV30l2ScX
Here's a fun game for the kids... nitter.gq/live5210/status/101456…
This game is a fun way to get kids to learn their fruits and vegetables while also promoting #physicalliteracy! ow.ly/YIbb30kznwQ @ViaSportBC @CityAbbotsford
Well, summer break is upon us! We've made progress this school year working towards better #activeandsaferoutestoschool in BC so more kids will walk and bike to school next fall! In the meantime, try some summer activities. #stayactive #havefun #kidswalk #kidsbike #happysummer nitter.gq/HealthierGen/status/10…

Our friends at Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House have an awesome new trike and need volunteer bike riders to help ride it and reduce social isolation. Email [email protected] to help out! #bikeyvr

Looking to bike south on Cambie Bridge? Good news - the new southbound cycling lane on the west side of the bridge is now open! The new lane also connects to the Downtown bike network, making it safer & easier to cycle to & from work & events this summer. vancouver.ca/cambiebridge.
A couple of pics from the "Think of me" campaign in Nanaimo this morning - Think of the schoolkids - drive more slowly! @icbc #thinkofme #safedrivers #schoolzone
Lise Richard, School Travel Facilitator with HASTe in Nanaimo, will be on CBC radio's All Points West with @CBCdsouza this afternoon at 3:45 Pacific. Tune in - cbc.ca/listen/live/radio1/vi… @AllPointsWestBC
