DATE: June 02, 2011

Langley, BC—CLAC’s Wellness Program team hosted a water table at the Run for Water event, held on May 29 in Abbotsford, to support clean water projects in Ethiopia.

The event drew 3,500 runners and raised $203,000. CLAC has been a sponsor of Run for Water since its inception four years ago.
 
“It’s a great cause and we had a lot of fun,” says Dave Phillips, CLAC’s health and wellness coordinator. “We will definitely be back next year.”

CLAC began a wellness pilot program in June 2009. It is the first union in Canada to develop a comprehensive wellness initiative to address and support the overall well-being and productivity of its members.
