About Project

New initiative launches to improve men’s health in the workplace in Northern BC. The program, POWERPLAY, is a workplace wellness-based initiative that will focus on improving healthy eating and active living behaviours and knowledge in men.

POWERPLAY has been developed through the combined efforts of the BC and Yukon Division of the Canadian Cancer Society, BC Cancer Agency and Northern Health. These three partners, along with researchers from the University of British Columbia and Athabasca University have combined their resources and expertise as part of a Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute grant for harmonization activities.
