The torch will arrive in Port Elgin from Prince Edward Island on Monday, Nov. 23. It will travel 1,400 km by land, and will be within a one-hour drive of 92 per cent of the province's population, passing through 58 communities, 10 of which have been preparing for the last year to host celebration events.


New Brunswick's Evolving Heritage:

Report on the Findings from the Heritage Colloquium on the Values and Attitudes of Young People towards Heritage
Cover of the Report on the Findings from the Heritage Colloquium on the Values and Attitudes of Young People towards Heritage

What do young people in their 20s think about heritage?
Do young people care about their past?
Will they choose to visit, learn about and invest in their shared history?

How these attributes manifest around heritage is an important question for the heritage community to think about. This was the underlying motivation behind the Heritage Colloquium on the Values and Attitudes of Young People towards Heritage.

Workplace Wellness Toolkit

New Brunswick businesses are being encouraged to focus on workplace wellness initiatives thanks to a Wellness at Heart Workplace Wellness Toolkit launched today.

The series of tools in the toolkit are designed to help New Brunswick organizations promote healthy workplace environments by assisting in the development or enhancement of a comprehensive workplace wellness program. Every day wellness programs are proving to be successful at lowering health care and insurance costs, decreasing absenteeism, and improving performance and productivity in workplaces. This kit will demonstrate how to best assess needs, develop a plan of action, implement, promote and evaluate wellness programs.

The initiative stems from a working partnership established in 2007 between the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick, the College of Psychologists and the New Brunswick Department of Wellness, Culture and Sport.

To learn more about the Wellness at Heart Workplace Wellness Toolkit, or how to obtain a copy for your business, please call 1-800-663-3600 or log on to www.heartandstroke.nb.ca.
