Health Promotion
CFB Winnipeg’s Health Promotion is here to help members of our community be their best version of themselves. Whether it is by taking one of our courses or briefings or joining us in one of our out of classroom activities we hope to make the healthy choice the easy choice.
Our courses and workshops are free to all members of the Defense Team and their adult family members. They are preventative in nature and provide you with the tools you need to lead healthy lives. These courses fall under 4 core areas: Social Wellness, Nutritional Wellness, Addictions Free Living and Active Living/Injury Prevention. The full catalogue of our courses is offered at least once every quarter.
When not in the classroom, Health Promotion is working with the military community and our CFMWS partners to offer programming/activities that support health & wellness. This includes visiting units, completing health & wellness audits, championing inclusive environments, infrastructure projects to promote active living, and working with messes to provide low-risk drink options.

November is here. We are into the second month of the CFB Winnipeg Wellness Challenge. It’s not too late to join. Use this link to go to Race Roster to register: 2025 — CFB Winnipeg Wellness Challenge — Race Roster — Registration, Marketing, Fundraising. This month we are paying attention to our recreational screen time. You can earn one point each day you keep your recreational screen time to 3 hours or less. Recreational screen time includes scrolling social media, watching tv/movies, playing computer/video games, playing games on your phone, etc. It does not include tasks such as on-line banking, meetings, etc. We are not asking for perfection, just do your best to replace recreational screen time with other activities when you can. Check out this link for additional information: Social Media: The Impact on Mental Health.
Congratulations to all those who participated in the October Wellness Challenge of tracking each day you achieved 7000 or more steps/day. Check out the leader board for top unit participation: 17-wing-wellness-challenge | Voxair . Individual prizes will be awarded by random draw for participation.
