Dear Parent (Guardian):
Maillard Middle has been working together with the City of
Coquitlam’s School Travel Planning program to help reduce school traffic
congestion and encourage more students to walk,scooter, skate or cycle on their
journey to and from school.
Maillard Middle took part in this program to:
- • Improve safety in our community
- • Increase the health and well-being of our students
- • Increase the amount of students arriving alert and ready to learn
- • Reduce pollution where our students play; and
- • Reduce traffic congestion at and around our school
Some highlights from the last year include: Crosswalk assessments
and upgrades, TravelSmart Youth Leadership program, HUB Cycling training, and a
Maillard Bike carnival.
This follow-up survey is to help us understand the impact that
School Travel Planning has had on travel behaviour at Maillard.
Please access the on-line survey by visiting this link and follow
the instructions http://hastebc.org/coquitlam-school-travel-planning-family-follow-survey. The survey will take about 7 minutes to complete.
The deadline to submit the survey is: MONDAY
OCTOBER 31ST 2016.
If you have any questions about the survey or the School Travel
Planning process, please contact: Mike Smith-Cairns, HASTe, msmith@hastebc.org
Thank you,
Mark Clay, Principal
