Get moving during the WALKTOBER Challenge to win great prizes! 

We're challenging Colwood residents to get active and walk or roll instead of driving for some trips between October 17 to October 31, then log your trips using the GOCO App for a chance to win some fantastic prizes! 

Walking the kids to school? Log your trip!

Walking to the bus stop? Log it!

Cycling for your Saturday morning coffee instead of driving? Log that trip!

Challenge yourself to ditch the car for those smaller trips. You'll be saving gas, reducing emissions, getting some exercise, and have a chance to win prizes as an added bonus!

Download the free GOCO app from the Apple Apps Store or Google Play Store to get started.

GOCO App

The GOCO app was launched as a way to connect our community with others who are travelling in the same direction. GOCO's goal is to help reduce the number of cars on the road, ease traffic congestion and parking woes, all while reducing ghg emissions.

And with gas prices soaring, GOCO makes sharing the cost of the trip a given rather than the driver having to ask passengers to contribute, which can be awkward. Splitting the cost benefits everyone involved.

It's not all about driving

The app encourages neighbours interested in cycling or walking to share their routes and experiences, and can be used as a platform for commuter challenges like this one to encourage active transportation and have fun doing it.
