WINDSOR, ONT. Various community organizations are working together to help encourage “active transportation” for when students return to the classroom. The Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) supported by the local school boarder, the City of Windsor, Windsor Police, the County of Essex, Windsor-Essex Student Transportation Services and Bike Windsor Essex is leading a project to increase the number of students getting to school using their feet or wheels. “We are very excited to receive this important funding that will allow us to leverage the strengths of our partners to make active and safe transportation more accessible for our students,” Eric Nadalin, manager of chronic disease and injury prevention at the WECHU said in a news release. “The schools directly involved in this project are spread throughout our region and the systems built by this funding will have impacts across all schools and boards in Windsor-Essex.”
