UNB's HEALTHY ACTIVE LIVING CHAMPIONS

February 27, 2009 Dual Celebration

A special dual celebration was held during Wellness Month 2009 to honour the newest HAL Champions and to recognize the efforts of the participants in the Step it Up! walking challenge.

Hosted by Human Resources, the Wellness Committee and HALC, the ceremony recognized the newest Champions and the achievements of the Step it Up! walking teams.

Over 400 people took part in the 4 week walking challenge. A highlight of the program was the "Walk with the President" during noon hour on Feb. 20. Over 90 participants were led by Dr. John McLaughlin and Step it Up! creators Nicola Cassidy and Nicole Stairs as they circled the concourse of the Aitken Centre for nearly an hour.

Thank you to the Champions, nominators and supporters of this inspirational program and to the many walkers at UNB who hit the pavement during Wellness Month. Keep those nominations coming!
