Our World Record Goal has been achieved:

On October 3, 2007, at 12:30 EDT, Canada set a new Guinness World Record for the largest number of people walking one kilometer at the same time. We smashed the existing record of 100,915, set by Western Australia in September 2006 (www.wagiantwalk.com.au).

Way to go Canada.

The World Record Walk was organized by Green Communities Canada (www.greencommunitiescanada.org) with support from the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion (www.mhp.gov.on.ca).


	The Walkolution continues in 2008 with OWN (Ontarians Walking Now). For information see the media release, Ontarians Walking NOW!

On September 1, 2008, Australia tried unsuccessfully to beat the Canadian World Record Walk record with a Giant Walk. For further information see the media release Australia Out to Beat Canadian World Record.
