Next Tuesday, June 7th is "Calgary Bike to School Day" and many Westgate School families and teachers are planning to participate again this year. This extracurricular event is geared at celebrating the joys of biking, encouraging kids and parents to be active together and demonstrating that "pedal power" is a feasible and fun way to get to school. Last year, nearly 8000 students and parents from over 70 Calgary schools took part. At Westgate, over 200 riders (students, parents and staff) participated. We are hoping for even more this year!
To make Bike to School Day a fun-filled community adventure, parent and teacher volunteers have established four routes (including a new Coach Hill route), each with an initial meeting point and a second "stop" along the route. Volunteers have generously committed to acting as informal coordinators at these meeting points.
