Register for Active Commute Challenge And Help The Environment, Your Wellness, And Lakehead Win!

An initiative supported by Lakehead’s Wellness Strategy and Sustainability Plan, the Office of Sustainability invites you to participate in the TBay On the Move Active Commute Challenge (tbayonthemove.ca) this June. Not only will you have the chance to win fantastic prizes, but you'll also contribute to a healthier environment and community.

The Active Commute Challenge is a friendly, city-wide competition that encourages daily commuters to choose sustainable modes of transportation for the benefit of their health and the environment.

For the month of June, hundreds of employees across Thunder Bay will swap their vehicle and cycle, walk, run, bus, carpool, rollerblade, or telecommute! Any non-motorized form of transportation, such as rollerblading, skateboarding, unicycling, or canoeing, is also considered a healthy and sustainable commute.

Registration is open--when registering please select or enter Lakehead University as your workplace.

Any employee who logs at least one commute where they did not drive alone will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate to various local businesses. Winners with the most kilometres travelled will receive a $100 gift card. Anyone who registers prior to June 1st and logs an active commute during the first week of the challenge will be entered into a draw to win 1 of 5 early bird prizes including a bike tune-up or a $100 gift card from local bike shop.

In 2019 we participated in the Commuter Challenge and we had 8 per cent of workplace employees participate and we won in our employee category, but we lost first place status to the TBRHSC last year. TBay on the Move Active Commute Challenge is a new but similar program. Let’s increase our employee participation to 10 per cent! Register today and make us the institution with the highest participation again.

See tbayonthemove.ca for more challenge details and to register.

Still have questions? Visit our information booth, grab a snack or beverage, and register in person June 2, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in The Agora.
