Be Ready to Walk in the Snow. It might surprise you that in Canada, students in Nunavut have the highest rates of walking to school.  Dress for the weather.  Choose a warm winter coat and snow pants, waterproof mittens, neck warmer, hat and winter boots with a nonslip tread.  Dress in layers as walking briskly warms you up quickly.

Tweet: Gear up for #winter walking. Wear coat, snow pants, mitts, neck warmer, hat and boots. #Cold can be fun!

Be a Role Model.  It only takes 12 minutes to walk 1km.  Try walking to do errands for trips that are 1- 2 km.

Be a Role Model.  Play outside with your children all year round.  Embrace winter.
