This program is only available until March 31, 2012.

HSBC Clean Air Achievers Program.
This is a curriculum-based, multi-disciplinary program that is intended for students in grades 6, 7, 8 and 9. This unique program explores transportation choices and the resulting impacts on air quality, climate change and health by bringing Canada's top National Team, Olympic, and Paralympic athletes into Calgary classrooms.

Students achieve measurable results that reduce greenhouse gas emissions by choosing active transportation, and influencing others to become more physically active. The program ideally takes place over a one month period (minimum two weeks), including two visits from the athlete paired with each school.

Cost: FREE! (Limited to grades 5-9)
