WALK Friendly Ontario
WALK Friendly Ontario is a recognition program that encourages municipalities to create and improve spaces and places to walk by awarding Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum designations. Using our comprehensive framework of indicators for walkability, municipalities can benchmark their current status and measure progress over time. The program gives walking a prominent profile in community planning and design, and encourages municipal governments to set targets for ongoing improvements. As communities strive to achieve higher awards, the built environment is transformed to support safe, sustainable and independent mobility.

Parent Resources
For the safety of walking students, crossing guards are stationed in three locations within the urban area of the former Town of Meaford. Crossing Guards are available for the morning and after school walks. Due to the balance nutrition days, students generally do not leave school grounds at "lunch hour".
The map shows the approximate locations of crossing guards.
MCS students:
Collingwood St. and Sykes St.
Nelson St. and Cook St.
SVE students:
St. Vincent St. and Sykes St.
