Celebrating 15+ years of Movin'March!
In 2015 Greater Wellington made a video celebrating Māehe Manawa Ora Movin'March, an annual programme which promotes walking, scooting, and biking to school.
Movin’March continues to encourage tamariki to choose active ways of getting to school. This story looks at what that impact can look like over time.
