Because together, we can create
Sustainable changes
for the future
of our kids
Good for physical health
Active transportation creates opportunities to be active, which strengthens muscles and bones, improves cardiovascular health, and reduces chronic disease and cancer risks.
Good for the community
Active transportation creates opportunities to socialize and to come together around a common goal (collective wellbeing, sustainable health, etc.).
Good for mental health
Physical activity helps ease symptoms of anxiety and depression, while also improving stress responses and self-esteem
Good for the environment
By using the energy of your own body to get around, you’re doing your part to combat climate change and improve air quality for future generations.
Testimonials
Participants
will tell you
« The addition of a Trottibus to the Marie-Reine school demonstrates the commitment of the neighborhood people to improving the safety and well-being of the children. »
« For me, it's about setting up a kind of routine because when you retire, it's easy to just do nothing... so, waking up early in the morning, going outside with the kids, and coming back by 8:30 am, gives us the whole day ahead. »

About Collective Strides
Collective Strides
is a new initiative by the Canadian Cancer Society
The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) exists to unite and inspire all Canadians to take control of cancer. It champions world leading outcomes in cancer prevention, treatment and support.
Our Collective Strides initiatives, an integral part of our cancer prevention mission, aims to increase physical activity levels among kids, their families, and the community at large by encouraging the use of active transportation. It targets the best period of life to adopt healthy behaviours: childhood. The Trottibus and the On Your Feet Challenge are a direct response to ComPARe study’s data indicating that some 146,400 cancer cases could be prevented by 2042 if Canadians were to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
