Are you doing more walking than ever before? Are you seeing more neighbours exercising outside? While some of us were avid walkers before the pandemic, more of us are discovering the benefits and joy of walking and hiking.

Whitby is home to a beautiful natural environment with over 60km of local trails. Today on Winter Walk Day we want to know where your favourite place to walk in Whitby is.

Get Involved!

Visit connectwhitby.ca/winterwalkday and drop a pin on the Whitby map to mark your favourite place to take a walk, then take a few seconds to share what you love about this route. Let us know what makes this location so special to you. As the map becomes populated it will turn into a great resource of new routes to enjoy on your next walk.

What is Winter Walk Day?

Each year Winter Walk Day is hosted by Ontario Active School Travel. The annual event is celebrated by schools and students across the province. While Whitby residents may not be walking to and from school right now, you can still walk around the block this February to celebrate Winter Walk Day.
