Hello Winnipeg Workplaces, Winnipeg in motion is inviting ALL Winnipeg workplaces to register their workplace and take part in the Step by Step: Walk for Wellness Challenge - a new pedometer based program designed to help your workplace add more physical activity and healthy eating to their day! We are encouraging workplaces to start their Challenge on March 31, 2008 and be included in the Winnipeg in motion spring campaign promoting walking for good health. Workplaces that register their Challenge will receive Winnipeg in motion prizes that can be used for incentives for teams to register early, for weekly prize draws, or for any sort of incentive that you wish. At this point we aren't sure how many of each item we can provide - it will depend on how many workplaces register and the amount of participants per workplace. The Winnipeg in motion prize package: in motion cotton tote bags, t-shirts, water bottles, tilly hats, pedometers, and Step by Step: Walk for Wellness Challenge buttons To learn more about the Challenge and the resources that are available to assist you in running the challenge (e.g., Coordinator's Manual, Team Captain's Manual, Participant's Manual, Promotional posters, and Sample emails) visit: http://www.winnipeginmotion.ca/work/step_by_step_walk_for_wellness_challeng… To register your workplace for the challenge AND to access the online tracker visit: www.walkforwellnesschallenge.ca I have attached three sample emails that you may (or not) want to modify and use to help build awareness and promote your Challenge. All sample emails (7) will be available on the website. There are also a couple sample posters on the website that you can also use to help promote your Challenge - There is space for you to include information on your Challenge and appropriate contact information. On the bottom of the poster you can include your workplace logo - I have attached some instructions if you aren't sure how to do this. Once the Challenge begins we will be looking for weekly updates from each Workplace that we can include in our weekly newsletter update that will be circulated to all workplaces taking part in the Challenge!! It is a great opportunity for workplaces to showcase all the 'stepping' that your employees are taking for better health! If you would like to be included in the weekly newsletter update please ensure that you send us weekly updates (i.e., team with the overall improvement, greatest amount of steps, etc......). Please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions on how we can improve the Challenge! The Step by Step: Walk for Wellness Challenge - improving the health of your workplace, one step at a time!

2006 Census - Labour, Education, Language of work and Place of work and commuting to work (including mode of transportation)
by Stacy Matwick 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

"There are 347,000 commuters in what's known as the census metropolitan area of Winnipeg, and 78.7 per cent of them either drive to work or are passengers in someone else's vehicle. That compares to 13 per cent of commuters in the region who used public transit. Just under six per cent walked, and 1.6 per cent used a bicycle." http://www.cbc.ca/canada/manitoba/story/2008/03/04/census-workforce-wpg.html For the official StatsCanada documents see http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/080304/d080304a.htm Stacy Matwick Information Centre International Institute for Sustainable Development 161 Portage Ave. E., 6th floor Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3B 0Y4 Voice: (204)958-7755 Fax: (204)958-7710 Email: smatwick(a)iisd.ca Website: http://www.iisd.org "Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.

Labour, Education, Language of work, Place of work and commuting to work (including mode of transportation) official release information - March 4, 2008, 8:30 a.m. Ottawa time Official release in The Daily There will be a dedicated Daily on March 4, 2008, to describe and promote the Labour, Education and Language of work release. Please note that the Place of work and commuting to work (including mode of transportation) release for March 4, 2008, is a 'data products only' release (i.e. no specific analysis at this time - to follow on April 2, 2008). Danielle Zietsma of Labour Statistics Division (613-951-4243) is responsible for all related text/data content within The Daily associated with the analysis of 2006 Census Labour including labour market activity, industry and occupation. Roland Hébert of Culture, Tourism and the Centre for Education Statistics Division (613-951-2982) is responsible for all related text/data content within The Daily associated with the analysis of 2006 Census Education. Jean-Pierre Corbeil of Demography Division (6139512315) is responsible for all related text/data content within The Daily associated with the analysis of 2006 Census Language of work. Official release and the Internet March 4, 2008, sees the official release, via the Internet, of the Labour, Education, Language of work, Place of work and commuting to work (including mode of transportation) data from the 2006 Census web module. These data can be accessed through a variety of gateways. Users can enter through The Daily; click on the 'Census' button on the left-hand navigation bar of the Statistics Canada home page (enter through the 'Spotlight' link); or by following the 'Release topics and dates' link under the 2006 Census header. Information within the 'Release topics and dates' web page presents the four topics being released March 4, 2008, and each release-centric page is organized into three broad categories: Data products, Analysis series, and Geography. Please note that the Language of work data and analysis being released on March 4, 2008, are a subset of the 'Language' topic that initially had data and analysis released on December 4, 2007. Users will be brought to the 'Language' release-centric page to access data and analysis for Language of work. Again, Place of work and commuting to work (including mode of transportation) release for March 4, 2008, is a 'data products only' release (i.e. no specific analysis at this time - to follow on April 2, 2008). Content of the release-centric pages The Data products category presents Labour, Education, Language of work, Place of work and commuting to work (including mode of transportation) data for a wide range of standard geographic areas, available through the Highlight tables, the Topic-based tabulations, the Profile release components, the 2006 Community Profiles, or the 2006 Census Tract (CT) Profiles. The 2006 Census Tract (CT) Profiles allow users to search for a census tract by typing in a postal code, using GeoSearch2006 or by typing in a census tract name. Postal codes found outside of census metropolitan areas or tracted census agglomerations will have an option for viewing Community profile data instead. The Labour, Education and Language of work Highlight tables will present counts, percent distributions and other data indicators for census metropolitan areas (CMAs), census agglomerations (CAs) and census subdivisions (CSDs) in support of the analysis. The Place of work/Commuting to work (including mode of transportation) Highlight tables will be released with the analysis of these variables on April 2, 2008. The Analysis series category presents links to The Daily - the analytical perspective articles: * Canada's Changing Labour Force, 2006 Census * Educational Portrait of Canada, 2006 Census * Using Languages at Work in Canada, 2006 Census The Geography category presents thematic maps containing release-related data for standard geographic areas of Canada and GeoSearch2006 (the Internet mapping application). A large collection of reference documents is also available under the reference material link in the left-hand sidebar of the census module. Updates to the 2006 Census Dictionary (March 4, 2008) Please be advised that the 'Attendance at school' definition will be available within the electronic version of the 2006 Census Dictionary on March 4, 2008.
