It's Your Health on the Line

How to Participate - Simply set up the clothesline in a staff area of your workplace. Staff will choose a paper cut out and write a message or draw a picture about what they do to revitalize their mind and body. They are then asked to hang it on the clotheslines for everyone to see.

Register your workplace! We just need a few details about your workplace to get started. We will send you a package with everything you need to participate including: poster, clothesline, clothes pins, paper clothing cut outs, print materials and a prize. For more information, read the attached Letter to Workplaces or call Lori Hynes at 634-4322.

Registration takes place in March/April each year. You can complete the registration form Word or PDF and fax to 634-2870 or email to cmhi.adm@gmail.com, or you can register by telephone at 634-4322.
