Hello Commuter Challenge-ers!
Get ready to go! Sunday June 5th is the commencement of the 2016 Commuter Challenge! Plan ahead for the week and make walking, biking, busing, part of your day! Or any other creative and sustainable way of getting to work (rollerskating, canoeing, hang-gliding, etc.). You can even bring your work home with you and "telecommute" (sounds fancy), and the kilometers you save on driving count as green commute kilometers. Remember you need to have commuted in a green way at least once to be entered to win prizes.
The Challenge officially starts on Sunday June 5th, and you can begin logging all of your green commutes to and from work on the Commuter Challenge website. Login and track your commutes!
Keep us posted with the hashtag #commuterchallengemb and use these graphics to get others involved! If you use the hashtag, you will also be entered into a special prize draw for a framed Honey Dill print! Find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
One last detail and I'll leave you to it! All next week Dave Turnbull (@TurnbullDave) and Trevor Dineen (@TrevorCBC) are making an effort to bring you an alternative traffic report! Feel free to tweet them with updates, photos or any other information that pertains to your Commuter Challenge friendly commute!
Let's get together to help make Manitoba and Manitobans a little bit healthier!
Happy commuting,
Christey :-)
