In concrete terms, the City of Dorval invites its residents to commits themselves to achieve or maintain two main objectives during this period:
1) To eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day, a minimum of 5 days a week
2) To be active for at least 30 minutes a day, a minimum of 5 days a week
Municipalities that distinguish themselves by their actions and results will be recognized in several ways. Dorval residents are therefore invited to register for the 5/30 Health and Wellness Challenge in great numbers until February 29 by visiting the event’s website at www.DefiSante530Equilibre.ca.
New this year, the City of Dorval will work in cooperation with two schools in the municipality, École Gentilly and Dorval Elementary School, to emphasize the importance of good health at an early age.
As a result, participating students of these two schools will be eligible for the draw of a bicycle, given by the City.
Other prizes, such as a family aquatic pass and a free subscription to a children’s course for the 2012 fall session, will also be drawn.
