International Walk to School Week

Robert H. Smith School in River Heights is one of the schools celebrating International Walk to School Week. This morning I walked to Robert H. Smith School. It was half-snowing and half-raining, and it was cold. But, I was not alone. Lots of children were walking to school - and quite a number of their parents walked with them this morning. Walking to school is good exercise, and it helps children keep fit. I remember, all the way through elementary and high school, I walked a kilometer to a kilometer and a half to school. In the photo, you can see Jackie Avent with Resource Conservation Manitoba and Josie Robinson. Josie walked with her daughter to Robert H. Smith school!!! Good for you Josie.

When it comes to exercise, Jackie is no slouch. She and her husband bicycled from Victoria to Halifax earlier this year. Wow!!! She is a strong role model for fitness.
