Two School Streets are planned in Gatineau, Québec, as part of the National Active School Streets Initiative (NASSI). The first School Street was implemented at école Monseigneur Charbonneau for 1 week in Spring 2026. The second School Street is planned for 1 week in Fall 2026. These School Streets are led by MOBI-O. 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.
