Ideas/Resources:

Elementary and Secondary:

  • Download, print and plaster our colourful poster all over the school.
  • Talk “Bike to School Week” up at assemblies, on the P.A., at staff meetings, to your friends and in your classes.
  • Get a leadership group, PAC parents or anyone else to organize a celebration at your school. Get some food or prizes donated by local businesses. Celebrate the cyclists who come in that day! Contact schools@bikehub.ca for help with planning a celebration or workshop at your school.
  • Arrange for bike parking at your school for the week. Do you have bike racks, a secure room off the gym or an enclosed courtyard? If you don’t have bike racks, ask your principal to request one or the PAC if they would consider financing one. 

Elementary:

  • Try to get as many teachers or other team leaders as possible signing up classes/groups at your school.
  • Team leaders: have your students map their route to school using HASTE's Online Route Planning Tool. The tool is a great learning opportunity, and they’ll know the distance from home to school for Bike to School Week.
