Kilometres for a Cause

Stay active this summer with SCY's summer activity challenge for children and youth!


Register your child and log their kilometres walked or run this summer, which will be matched by our generous sponsor Global Container Terminals as a donation to SCY at the rate of $1 per kilometre - up to $5,000!


This challenge is open to children and youth anywhere in the province. Set a goal and work towards it over a period of 5 weeks this summer! You have from Monday, July 21st through Friday, August 22nd to complete the challenge - this doesn't have to be done in one day!

Every kilometre you walk or run will be matched by Global Container Terminals as a donation to SCY, supporting our critical work advancing child and youth rights throughout BC.

Do you walk with our Walking School Bus during the year? Sign up with your school name in registration to have your distance pooled with your schoolmates!
