Winnipeg has seen an increase in outdoor activities like cross country skiing, hiking, walking and biking. Building on these trends, SJASD will be encouraging students to get “rolling”!

The SJASD “Wheel Challenge” will take place from May 19 to June 8, 2026. It is a chance to celebrate and encourage students to “wheel” on a regular basis. So, roller-skate, roller-blade, bike, scooter, use your wheelchair or bike your way to wellness.

These activities can be enjoyed as a young child and through adulthood. The SJASD ‘Wheel Challenge’ is an optional opportunity and independent of the school day. As such, parents and guardians assume the responsibility for supervision and supporting your child in this opportunity. No expectations, just an invitation. No need to register or sign up.

To add some extra motivation, we are offering a Wheel Challenge Bingo Card for some suggestions and simple ways to promote ‘wheeling’. Bingo Cards can be downloaded here. Wheel Challenge 2026 Family Template.pdf

If you can’t download and print the card, physical copies be picked up at the St. James-Assiniboia Board Office 2574 Portage Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3J 0H8 or at your school from gym class.
