Two School Streets are planned in Edmonton, Alberta, as part of the National Active School Streets Initiative (NASSI/School Streets). A pop-up School Street was implemented at St. Leo Catholic Elementary School for one day in Spring 2026. The dates and locations of the next two School Streets have not yet been determined. These School Streets are led by Ever Active. Running from 2024 to 2027, NASSI addresses a lack of physical activity in children by improving road safety conditions surrounding schools and increasing rates of active school travel and independent play.

NASSI is Canada’s largest-ever School Streets movement: Green Communities Canada is leading a cross-country collaboration between three not-for-profit organizations, four research institutions, and 25 community partners spanning six provinces. The program includes matched funding and community in-kind contributions, totaling a $6 million investment in children’s physical activity.
