May 31st to June 6th.

How did you get to work today?

The 10th annual Commuter Challenge is a national sustainable transportation event celebrated during Environment Week.

It's a friendly competition between workplaces and schools to encourage individuals to walk, bike, carpool, telecommute, or bus on their daily commute to work or school from May 31st 1st to June 6th to emphasize active and green means of commuting.

Prizes are awarded to Workplaces with the highest participation rates. The main objective of the promotion is to highlight the importance of green and active commuting in creating healthy communities through opportunities for increased physical activity and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

For all the details, including registration information, please see Resource Conservation Manitoba's Commuter Challenge website.

An orientation session for Workplace Coordinators was held on Monday May 4th from 11:30 to 12:45 at Sport Manitoba, 200 Main St at York Ave.
