Back Active 2019

Thank you to everyone who participated in your regional Back Active - Take a Walk Day event last week. Despite the clouds in some regions it ended up being quite a successful day. I hope you all enjoyed getting out and getting active!

With your support, this campaign continues to encourage working Albertans to be active while experiencing back pain.
Back strains and sprains unfortunately happen on the job. When you participate in Take a Walk Day, you help educate employees and coworkers on the importance of staying active through back pain to prevent further injury.

A big thank you to Airdrie Puppy Pals and to Aly from STARS for hanging out with the Rocky View team for the day.
