Initated by the Canadian Cancer Society, the Trottibus is a walking school bus that helps elementary school children walk to school together in the morning, accompanied by parents and volunteers.
Nearly half of all cancer cases can be prevented by adopting healthy livings habits and implementing policies to protect public health.
58% of parents say that they always walked to school when they were children: only 28% say that their children are doing it today.
The exercise that children get in walking to school increases their ability to concentrate, for the next four hours or so.
Each kilometre covered on foot on a daily basis is associated with a 5% decrease in the probability of becoming obese.
Only 14% of young Canadians between 5 and 11 years old are sufficiently active.
The pedestrian bus is a simple and safe way to be active on a daily basis. Get on board the Trottibus Walking School Bus today!
Let your child discover the pleasure of walking with friends and adopting
healthy habits for life!
Accompany children as they walk
to school and start
the day energized!
