Push [Yourself] Up Challenge

Human Resources and Student Services are collaborating again to being the Push [Yourself] Up Challenge!!!

From Feb. 11 to 28, all staff and students are invited to participate.

“The Push-Up Challenge is a free fitness event focused on pushing for better mental health for all Canadians. Participants take on 2,000 push-ups, representing the ~2,000 lives lost to suicide each day, worldwide.” (https://www.thepushupchallenge.ca/)

Feel free to do lunges, squats, skipping rope, jumping jacks, whatever works for you! You do what you can/want.

Last year we greatly surpassed our modest community goal of 2000 pushups. So this year, we are aiming for 50 000 pushups!

Human Resources is giving $500 in prizes for employees and Student Services is doing the same for students. For all the details, visit the link.
