A Wish in Motion: Local Kids Get Healthier
Grade 6 classes from nine lucky schools are getting free bikes, helmets, locks, bells, and safety training from the Kids and Values in Motion Bicycle Benefit Program. This program encourages children in Ottawa to be healthy. It also focuses on the core values of caring, honesty, responsibility, and respect. The late Harold Shenkman wanted kids to be active and healthy and to honour this wish his son, William Shenkman, began the Kids and Values in Motion Bicycle Benefit Program in 2002. Through the Shenkman Family Foundation many sixth-graders in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board have received a new bicycle. This program has been in place for seven years and is sponsored by the Shenkman Family Foundation, the YMCA, and the City of Ottawa, as well as the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. Vincent Massey Public School was the site for this year’s Official Launch which took place April 24.
