" Take 10 – Let’s Move! "

A Healthy Workplace Month Challenge | October 1–31

Calling all section leaders in the NCR!

It’s time to fall into action and get your teams moving with the “Take 10 – Let’s Move!” challenge. This October, we’re inviting you to lead by example and encourage short, regular movement breaks—also known as “exercise snacks”—during the workday.

Why Take 10?

  • Boost focus, mood and productivity
  • Support your team’s health and wellness
  • Build a culture of taking movement breaks at work
  • And yes… you could win a healthy snack break for your section! 

How to Participate

  1. Register your section: You’ll receive weekly challenge emails to help keep your team motivated and on track.
  2. Download the Calendar : Get inspired with fun, easy ways to move more throughout the day.
  3. "Take 10" Daily: Encourage your section to take short movement breaks every day during the work week.
  4. Share Your Story: Tell us what your section is doing to “Take 10”. Send your text entry (and photos if you wish) to HealthPromotionNCR@cfmws.com. You’ll be entered into a draw for a chance to win a complimentary healthy snack break, hosted by the PSP Ottawa-Gatineau Health Promotion team.
