Thanks for sharing Erick!
For reference, last year Active Transportation got a D+, so we are down, though AT has consistently received a D grade since they started to track it as part of the report card in 2006.
In Manitoba, our numbers are very close. Our surveys show about 20-25% of the students walk to school. When I ask a room full of parents, usually about 95% of them used to walk as a child....even if they live in the same neighbourhood!
Feel free to checkout our program or get in touch to talk about this in more detail: http://greenactioncentre.ca/program/asrts/
