On April 1, 2009 Fraser Health organized a "Walk at Lunch Day" as part of a 2-month long Healthy Living Challenge.
The event was a huge success. "We had about 70 groups of Fraser Health staff participate overall this year, which was a big surprise considering the weather," says Tracy Steere, the Healthy Abbotsford Coordinator at Fraser Health. Approximately 35 groups walked outside, while others walked stairs and participated in other indoor activities.
As the sunshine calls, it is the beginning of perfect weather for any workplace to organize a Walk at Lunch throughout May and June. If you would like help organizing a walk, please visit our Workplace Walking resources.
We'd love to hear how your Walk at Lunch went!
