Champlain College Saint-Lambert team will be participating in this year’s Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie, which will be taking place on Saturday, May 14, 2016. The Grand défi has partnered with Quebec schools to help kids make healthier choices in their everyday lives, to build habits that will become the norm for future generations. Their three areas of action are physical activity, healthy eating and perseverance at school. The Grand défi also seeks to raise parents’ awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle for their children’s health and, of course, for their own health. In November 2008, the Grand Défi Pierre Lavoie became the largest health-related event to ever be organized in the province. Champlain’s team is composed of 46 students who vary in interests and physical abilities. They’ve been training hard three days a week, preparing themselves for both the physical and mental challenge that they will be facing this month.
