Dunedin City Council encourages student activity with ‘Move It March’ initiative

Move it March is a new initiative from Dunedin City Council designed to extend the effects of Walk ‘n’ Wheel Week through encouraging active travel to and from school for the whole month of March.  

Move it March aims to make active travel to and from school a healthy habit, reducing congestion at the school gate, encouraging student wellbeing, and reducing emissions.

Around 6000 youngsters from 31 Dunedin schools are set to walk, scoot, bike or bus their way to and from school to celebrate Move It March.
