Healthy Workplace Month

In honour of Healthy Workplace Month (October 5 - November 1, 2009), BC Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA) invited workplaces and communities to create and implement healthy workplace strategies. Participants were provided with:

  • A selection of resources to use in their workplaces
  • Programming suggestions to promote physical activity and healthy living with their employees
  • Communications support for spreading the word about Healthy Workplace Month within the workplace and throughout the province.
  • The opportunity to be acknowledged in a congratulatory advertisement in the Vancouver Sun.

BCRPA recognizes the important role that work environments play in the physical activity levels of British Columbians. Healthy workplaces benefit organizations and individuals alike and result in improved productivity, fewer insurance and worker compensation claims, reduced absenteeism, and improved staff attitudes towards the organization.
