Defi-Sante 5/30 Challenge in Deux-Montagnes

The City of Deux-Montagnes invites citizens to participate in the Defi-Sante 5/30 Balanced Health Challenge, organized in partnership with the public health departments of Quebec Health and Social Services Agencies and the Quebec government.

The 5/30 Balanced Health Challenge is a major healthy lifestyle promotion campaign. This campaign that was launched in 2005 mobilizes a large number of Quebecers each year to: eat better, exercise more, and to take care of themselves. Since its creation, the campaign has generated over one million registrations, according to 5/30 Health Challenge spokesperson, Madame Mélanie Ménard.

The Health Challenge will be held this year from March 1st to April 11th, 2015. The City of Deux-Montagnes encourages citizens to participate and register on the 5/30 Balanced Health Challenge website at the following address:  www.defisante.ca

Participants are invited to join the 30,000 Health Challenge  Facebook fans: a dynamic virtual community that is passionate about health! In addition, participants benefit from weekly motivational emails.

The City of Deux-Montagnes encourages this great initiative and encourages all Deux-Montagnes citizens to use the City’s sports facilities (Olympia Arena, outdoor skating rinks) to meet the 2015 Balanced Health objectives.
