Our Active Transportation Program encourages Canadians to choose modes of transportation that require human power , such as walking, cycling, skiing, skating, or even dog sledding to work, school or in the community. Active transportation provides physical activity and protects the environment from harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Examples include implementing a municipal policy on cycle lanes or creating pedestrian facilities in your community, implementing a walking school bus at your school, or a cycling program at your workplace. Examples include building a trail to connect communities, implementing an 'adopt a trail' program at your school, or organizing a monthly hiking excursion at your workplace. Eligibility All communities, schools and workplaces in Canada are eligible.

The Nomination Form on the reverse side and the Project Description must be completed and returned to Go for Green before the deadline. The project must incorporate active living and environmental stewardship. The project must have a meaningful and lasting effect.
