Students, Teachers, School Administration, Community Leaders and Jumpstart Participate in International Walk to School Day
TORONTO, Oct. 8, 2013 /CNW/ - In line with its goal of getting more kids active and playing, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities will outfit the Warren Park Junior School - including its over 200 students, teachers and administrative staff - with new Nike running shoes.
In addition to marking International Walk to School Day on October 9th, the donation also comes days before Warren Park's cross country running team participates in the Canadian Tire Run for Playgrounds in High Park. Jumpstart Charities is also covering the costs of registering and transporting the school's team to the run.
Supported by the Canadian Tire Family of Companies, which includes Canadian Tire, PartSource, Gas+, Sport Chek, Atmosphere, Mark's and Canadian Tire Financial Services, Jumpstart has helped more than 600,000 Canadian kids get in the game since 2005.
