Most kids earn failing grade on exercise, report finds

CTV.ca, Staff Reporter

Most Canadian kids are earning a failing grade on a new report card assessing their levels of daily exercise.

The report card gave Canadian kids a "D" for Active Transportation, meaning most are not choosing to bike or walk to get to school.

Parents should encourage their children to walk or bike to school each day, since nearly two-thirds of Canadian families live within a reasonable distance to walk or bike to school, Active Healthy Kids Canada urges.
