Issue n°13- march 2013
Editorial
Before you begin reading this March issue, I’d like to ask you something: have you felt a change these past few days, induced by the
warm spring sun?...
On the contrary. The warm temperatures are to be expected for spring, especially for our current outdoor activities, which are so
enjoyable! And to further boost our enthusiasm, why don’t we try Wixxing together?
I know most of us aren’t allowed to Wixx, unless we’re among the lucky ones who organize and animate activities. But that doesn’t
matter. As long as the youngsters get moving.
Besides, there are other challenges in which we can all take part, such as the Défi Moi J’Croque, in which the goal is to eat 5 portions
of fruits and vegetables a day. How about you? Will you be eating fruits and vegetables and competing with the other schools? Will
you be this year’s winner?
The sugar season is fast approaching; let’s take the time to enjoy the moment and the activities that are available to us during this
period. Summer is right around the corner and fall not far behind. So, let’s not wish for this season to end... Let’s enjoy it to the
full!!!

DID
YOU
KNOW
THAT...?
In
each
issue
of
our
bulle0n,
we’re
going
to
present
a
capsule
en0tled
«Did
you
know
that...?».
These
capsules
will
help
you
influence
decision
makers
when
you
meet
with
your
Execu0ve
Board,
Administra0ve
Council
or
Municipal
Council.
The
purpose
of
these
brief
capsules
is
to
provide
you
with
informa0on
and
«0ps
and
tricks»
that
relate
to
healthy
lifestyle
habits.
The
capsules
will
deal
with
physically
ac0ve
lifestyles
and
ea0ng
habits
as
well
as
the
type
of
environment
that
promotes
these.
The
capsules
are
mostly
produced
by
Québec
en
Forme,
but
they
could
also
come
from
other
organiza0ons,
such
as
Kino-­‐Québec,
Health
Canada,
etc...
I
hope
you’ll
find
them
interes0ng!
Did
you
know
that...?

a
convenience

and

restaurant
near

(Robitaille

In

of

is
