Week 7: Make Your Move Community Challenge 💼🚶‍♀️

This week, we’re focusing on movement at work, because even small changes to your day can make a big difference in how you feel.

Warden Nicholas MacInnis and Strategic Initiatives Coordinator Megan Cranford share how they’re rethinking the workday by taking meetings outside. 🌿 Walking, talking, and getting fresh air is a simple way to stay active, boost energy, and spark creativity.

💡 Movement doesn’t have to mean carving out extra time, it can be built right into your routine.

How can you add a little more movement into your workday this week? 👇

🏡👟 Community Movement Challenge Week 6: Play Counts

This week’s theme is JOY, and the powerful role that play can have in our lives as adults. 💛

Antigonish MLA Michelle Thompson shares why making time for fun, movement, and lighthearted moments isn’t just for kids, it’s essential for our mental health. Whether it’s dancing in your kitchen, exploring the outdoors, or trying something new, play helps reduce stress, boost mood, and reconnect us with what makes us feel alive.

✨ Let this be your reminder: it’s okay to be playful, to laugh, and to move in ways that bring you joy.

Not signed up yet? There’s still time, and we have some excellent participatory prizes that will be distributed at the end of the challenge! The Make Your Move challenge runs until June 30.

How will you embrace joy this week? 👇
