Trottibus Walking School Bus

Trottibus, the Walking School Bus!

To encourage the young and not so young to integrate walking into their daily life, the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has taken on the task of mobilizing its resources for a shared project: supporting the development of a Trottibus Walking School Bus network in Quebec.

Through planned routes and stops, two adult volunteers accompany a group of kindergarten to third grade children to school. The Trottibus Walking School Bus sets off on foot every weekday morning.

The CCS’s main responsibilities are to train the people in charge of the project, provide them with all the necessary tools, and help them in volunteer recruitment (when needed).

This initiative is made possible thanks to the support and financial backing of Québec en Forme.

The CCS is a proud partner of the 2013 La rue pour tous campaign. The La rue pour tous campaign is an initiative of Vélo Québec as part of the On the Move in the Community program.
