"Walktober" ‑ Move More, More Often

Posted by Human Resources on October 1, 2020 in Human Resources

Despite the many changes we have seen in 2020, the month of October is once again "Walktober" at Dalhousie, with the goal of increasing physical activity among employees. While we may be working in a wide range of places and spaces, Walktober's goal of getting people moving more remains, ideally outside.

There are two ways to get involved: 1) track your walks and/or 2) send in a photo of what you see as you walk.

Each week, email healthy@dal.ca with an update of how many walks you took, how many steps you took or how far you walked. Any measurement works.  Or send a picture of something along your route to healthy@dal.ca or post it on Twitter with #DalWorkWell.

Names will be drawn each week for prizes provided by Johnson Insurance - $100 grocery gift cards, kit bags, water bottles. Draws will take place on October 5th, 13th, 19th, 26th, 30th.​​
