Thank you to everyone who celebrated and participated!
Fall breeze, crunchy leaves, let’s celebrate the season with a spooky scary spirit week, please! From October 28 to November 1, we hope you will take a moment to celebrate your team spirit during Shared Health’s Fall Spirit Week.
Throughout the week you are invited to participate in themed activities and challenges. Join your colleagues, teammates, co-workers and other staff from across the health system to celebrate the season and get creative with activities that promote teamwork and fun!
Get creative and share your spooky spirit with us! Each day will offer fall themed events, decoration challenges and team-building activities. Share a seasonal spooky moment with colleagues and co-workers who are so important to each of us. Send in photos (or video!) here of you dressed up, your decorated department, or participating in one of our many activities and you could win a $25 gift card! Prizes will be awarded to some of the best dressed teams, decorated workspaces as well as through our Manitoba Cafés nominations and Haunted Manitoba Quiz!
- All contests close Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. CST. Winners must be current health-care worker at a Manitoba facility, program or service.
