A very interesting report as we enter the home stretch of the school year. I did not realize that there was such a thing as a "D minus"; I thought after a D there was only F.
"Fewer Canadian kids are commuting by walking or biking as a new report reveals a marked decline among young people using active modes of transportation.
Active Healthy Kids Canada released its annual Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth on Tuesday, assigning a "D" grade in the category of active transportation. A "D minus" grade was given for overall physical activity levels."
