Peel Bike to School Week
Peel Bike to School Week May 29 – Jun 2, 2017
It’s time to register for Bike to School Week 2017!
On behalf of the Region of Peel, we’d like to invite your school to participate in Bike to School Week (B2SW) 2017, a celebration of cycling and active transportation from May 29 to June 2, 2017. Schools in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon participated last year through bike rodeos, school assemblies, group rides, and more! Check out what schools tweeted here. Register at biketoschoolweek.ca! 2017 Bike to School Week Invitation
In 2015, 148 schools across the GTHA, including 25 in Peel, registered to participate in the first B2SW ever. In 2016, we doubled that with 309 schools registered in the GTHA and 52 schools in Peel!
We want to DOUBLE THAT NUMBER again this year and get at least 100 schools in Peel to celebrate cycling together!
Resources available to schools that register, include:
· Downloadable Poster promoting B2SW and the benefits of cycling 2017 Bike to School Week – Region of Peel Poster
