The annual event, held by the Green Action Centre, promotes active and sustainable transportation.

“It’s super important to contributing to a more sustainable Manitoba to get people outside,” said Ariel Desrochers, Green Action Centre.

“Get them excited about doing activities in winter, and also while reducing some emissions that they might otherwise generate through car travel.”

Desrochers told Global News people could sign waivers and try out ice bikes and snow shoes for free.

Additionally, children, classes, and schools can register for a child-friendly challenge.

The challenge runs from Sunday until Feb 11 and people can still sign up and take part.
