Raise Awareness About Safe Winter Walking
Winter can be a challenging season for regular outdoor activities. Just one bad fall can bring lasting long-term consequences. However, taking a few simple precautions can make outdoor activities safer for yourself and others, regardless of the age.
If you are interested in helping to raise awareness about safe winter walking by making learning more fun and engaging for everyone involved, we encourage you to consider hosting intergenerational learning opportunities with the help of the resources included in the Safe Winter Walking Toolkit.
Keep in mind that by leading such “co-learning” activities which involve people from different generations, you can contribute to building communities where people respect each other better.
