THE RESULTS ARE OUT!!!

Since 2010, schools and School Travel Planning committees in BC and across Canada have been busy working towards encouraging and supporting more students and their families to walk and actively wheel to and from school. HASTe joined an inspiring team of leaders across the country in developing and delivering the best School Travel Planning (STP) process for Canada.
