What's New

Winter 2005

Since its launch in 2001, this site has become a tremendously popular online resource that received more than a million hits in its first year alone.

In response to the strong demand for the latest news and stats in the field of active living in the workplace, we are currently conducting a comprehensive content audit that will result in a more streamlined site with easier access to the information you need.

We are working on updating the site throughout the winter 2005, so please check back here frequently for updates on our progress.

In the meantime, we invite you to check out our latest case studies of Canadian businesses that are already enjoying the many benefits of active living at work, thanks to their innovative workplace wellness policies:

• BC Hydro & Accenture Business Services of BC
• Vancouver International Airport Authority
• Veterans Affairs Canada – National Head Office

Health Canada and the Canadian Council for Health and Active Living at Work (CCHALW) proudly present the Business Case for Active Living at Work.
