Bike to Work Week

Bike to Work Week (BtWW) is an annual initiative encouraging more people to commute to work by bicycle.  This year BtWW took place May 27 to June 2. Team “School District 82 Complex,” including the School Board Office, North Coast Distance Education School, Facility Services, Student Support Services, and IT Department, had 24 participants: 17 cyclists, 5 walkers, and 2 carpoolers.  By commuting to and from work cyclists logged over 400km, which translates into over 80kg of Greenhouse Gas emissions saved.  Some participants stated that cycling was a fun way to get to work, making for a refreshing start and an increase in positive energy, while cycling home was noted as a way to unwind and enjoy a few moments closer to nature.  Way to go Team SD 82 Complex!

Many staff at North Coast Distance Education School got in on BtWW. As you can see, it was great fun and good exercise too.
