Do you enjoy walking and want to support your colleagues to reap the benefits of movement during the workday? HikeNS and the NSFM-AMA Municipal Wellness Program have partnered to introduce a new program called NS Walks at Work! We recently ran our first training, which was a great success!
We are always looking for municipal employee volunteers to co-lead gentle, fun, and friendly walks at your workplace. As a volunteer, you’ll receive a 2-hour free walk leader training to equip you with the knowledge and confidence to guide these walks.
We will be offering this training annually in both the fall and spring. For information on the next training, please contact Melanie at .
As part of this initiative, we collaborated with NS Walks to create a short promotional video featuring two of our municipal leaders, CAO Tammy Crowder and Deputy CAO Eric Levy. Both Tammy and Eric strongly endorse and support municipal units considering the training to lead walks within their workplaces.
Be sure to check out the video: NS Walks at Work
#NSWalks is a collaborative initiative by @HikeNovaScotia, supported by @NSGov, the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program @SeniorsinCanada, and @Makeyourmove.
