Sneak It In Week is a week-long initiative where ParticipACTION challenges busy Canadians to sneak more physical activity into their workday. We encourage people to wear sneakers to work, walk to lunch, park a few blocks away, or hit the pavement on coffee breaks. Being physically active at work is a great way to help adults get the 60 minutes of daily physical activity recommended by Canada's Physical Activity Guide. And research shows that even tiny bouts of physical activity, as little as 10 minutes at a time, are associated with increased fitness.

The University of Winnipeg Professional, Applied and Continuing Education invites you to participate in an upcoming networking event for full-time Human Resource Management students - a Resumania. We believe that our students would value your experience and expertise in this industry and the insight you could bring this forum. Resumania is based on the speed-mentoring concept. It will provide our students with the opportunity to meet one-on-one with recognized HR professionals and get feedback on their resumes. Students will move round-robin across 20 stations, where they will have 6 minutes with each professional. We will end the evening with a Mix & Mingle Hors d'Oeuvres networking hour. Please consider the following information to determine your availability: Date: Thursday, April 3, 2014 A small commitment of time will make a huge difference to our students.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Mekela Wickramasinghe at me.wickramasinghe@uwinnipeg.ca or 204-982-1143. |

Mental health at work is an issue for all businesses, of all sizes, from self-employed singletons to corporations that employ thousands. Speaking in Parliament in January this year, Norman Lamb, the UK Minister for Care and Support, noted that at least one in four people will experience a mental health problem at some point in their life; that many experience poor mental well-being but do not have a diagnosable mental disorder; and that mental illness is now the cause of over 40% of sickness benefit claims.
