Our Movement Challenge, which was inaugurated last summer, is back in full swing. 5 teams of 10 staff are in the running to win this year\u2019s prize (last year\u2019s prize was a day\u2019s adventure of TreeTop Trekking and a team lunch.) This year, team Nunchuk Spiders<\/em> is currently in the lead with over a combined 1700 points; points based on MET (metabolic equivalent) values \u2013 yes, we are too legit to quit! With just 2 more weeks left in the challenge, we can\u2019t wait to see who will take home the prize!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gg.rootree.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/resin-fruit-day-1.jpg” alt=”Fruit Day” title_text=”Fruit Day” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gg.rootree.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Cupcake-Day-1.jpg” alt=”Cupcake Day” title_text=”Cupcake Day” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/gg.rootree.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Pancake-Day.jpg” alt=”Pancake Day” title_text=”Pancake Day” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”rgba(0,106,188,0.5)” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”85deba0e-554a-4e5c-a84f-b5ff499a7ccc” header_text_color=”#555555″ header_font_size=”3.05rem” header_2_text_color=”#555555″ header_2_font_size=”2.44rem” header_3_text_color=”#555555″ header_3_font_size=”1.95rem” header_4_text_color=”#555555″ header_4_font_size=”1.56rem” header_5_text_color=”#555555″ header_5_font_size=”1.25rem” header_6_text_color=”#555555″ header_6_font_size=”1rem” header_font_size_tablet=”2.49rem” header_font_size_phone=”2.49rem” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]The refreshments this summer have been abundant.
