Step up Alberta, get outside and enjoy the fresh, crisp Alberta air!  

Join thousands of Albertans for Winter Walk Day on Wednesday, February 8, 2012. It’s easy to participate, simply walk outside for at least 15 minutes. Walking is great for our health, the environment, reducing traffic and building community. Everyone is welcome to join in – schools, seniors’ centres, commuters and individuals. If you must drive on this day, park the car and walk a few blocks with your kids.

Count yourself in 

Count yourself in by registering yourself or your group on the SHAPE Alberta website . The goal this year is to have over 120,000 Albertans participate. 

New this year is Alberta Blue Cross as a corporate sponsor. Alberta Motor Association is sponsoring awards for photos / videos submitted in each category.

Winter Walk Day is brought to you by Safe Healthy Active People Everywhere (SHAPE), in partnership with your local Be Fit for Life Centre, with funding from the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
