Conquer the Health Challenge

Sherbrooke-ville en santé is inviting people to take simple steps to change their lifestyle. This year, the City is celebrating 10 years of participation in this major promotional campaign and by working in partnership with Sherbrooke-ville en santé, its various partners in the education and health networks, and Cardio Plein Air, and hopes to mobilize young people and families to stay physically active and to eat healthy.

The Health Challenge encourages people to adopt healthy habits such as eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and exercising at least 30 minutes a day. The initiative also advocates for the importance of taking a break and restful sleep, as well as taking the time to be grateful for three positive things each day.

Those interested can register from February 22 to March 31, by completing the online form at defisante.ca.

In addition, the public is invited to the "Rendez-vous actif - Défi Santé,” which consists of a 60-minute training session, offered free of charge under the supervision of Cardio Plein Air. The activity, which will be held on Sunday, March 25 in more than 50 cities and boroughs in Quebec, is accessible to all, regardless of age or physical condition. In Sherbrooke, this training will be held at Jacques-cartier Park between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
