Published purpose

The Secondary School OYFC pilot project will be based on the elementary school OYFC, with adaptations for a new target group and different needs. The OYFC encourages kids to try out active transportation for their daily commute. For three weeks in October, school communities are challenged to collectively travel 6,000 km, the distance from one end of Canada to the other. Each group of participants sets a target number of kilometres and reports their daily travel on the interactive website defiactivetespieds.ca/en/. They are helping their school meet the Challenge. Schools receive a toolkit, and participants have a chance to win sports-related participation prizes.
