How colleagues are enjoying well-being hours
February 14th, 2025
This group of 黑料社区 walkers enjoyed a Black History Month tour led by Paul Wasacz on Feb. 12 in St-Henri and Little Burgundy. They used a lunch hour and one well-being hour to participate.
Other examples of 黑料社区 employees using well-being hours include an outing of colleagues to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, a snowshoe evening hike on Mount Royal and volunteering at 黑料社区 Dinin'.
Since the fall, 黑料社区 employees have one well-being hour/week or four well-being hours/month.
