WE ARE CHALLENGING YOU to help us create a culture of health and wellbeing!

To help us do this the Executive team has generously sponsored 20 teams to participate in the 100 day Global Corporate Challenge (GCC).

The GCC 100 Day Journey is a great way to have some fun and healthy competition at work. More than 300,000 people from around the world have already taken part this year and now we’re encouraging you to join the September event.

Why participate?
You might enjoy a dose of healthy competition and being part of a team – or you might be looking for a gentle nudge to get energized and create healthier habits that stick. Find out what this challenge can offer you.

How does it work?
Simply form a team of seven (either with your friends or within your school/department) and start tracking your daily activity using either the GCC Pulse that’s provided or your own fitness device like Fitbit or Garmin. The more active your team, the further you’ll progress around the world. So organize your team and sign up to the GCC 100 Day Journey today!

Please note that these 20 teams are available on a first come first served basis.  Hurry – team entries close by August 31st.

If you have any questions about this program, please contact Victoria at 416.675.6622 ext. 5683 or Victoria.Mascioli@humber.ca.
