3school travel plans
The goal of school travel planning is to
encourage walking and cycling to school,
enhance school and traffic safety in the area,
and to improve overall options for people of
all ages and abilities to walk or cycle
As part of the East Fort Garry Walk Bike Project, school travel plans
were created for four of the schools in the neighbourhood, including: ÉCOLE
