The City of Courtenay and Comox Valley Schools are inviting families to learn more about the Safe and Active Schools program.
The program promotes safer and healthier school commutes for students and families, encouraging children to walk, cycle or use other forms of active transportation to get to and from school.
The program’s inaugural year included École Puntledge Park Elementary, Courtenay Elementary and Valley View Elementary. More schools are expected to enrol in the program.
“The program is a big step toward safer, healthier school commutes for kids and families,” reads a statement from the City of Courtenay.
An open house about the program is scheduled for March 12 at the École Puntledge Park Elementary gym from 5 to 7 p.m.
