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.
Winter Walking Brochures
If you are looking for useful information and simple tips to help you and others stay safe while walking during our winter months, we encourage you to consult our Safe Winter Walking brochures.
The first brochure provides information aimed at older adults such as considering the use of a walking aid and supporting yourself adequately when climbing stairs or exiting vehicles. The other offers similar safety information, but for younger adults and youth.
Both are great resources that can be used for yourself or given to your family, friends, or others in your community. For a copy of one of the brochures, please click on its corresponding image.
“Walk Like a Penguin” Poster
Putting up a poster is a good way to promote an idea in a public space for everyone to reflect upon. If you wish to help raise awareness about safe winter walking, we recommend that you use our Walk Like a Penguin poster.
