As a growing company, active, we believe in arming employees with resources and key information so they can live a healthy and balanced life. An important element of this belief offers "lunch and learns" on a variety of topics that are of interest. A number of our employees participated in the project independently Tomorrow, and started to educate each other. A participant of employee was Julie Visser; we asked him some questions about his involvement, here is what she said:
(1) How have you learned about the project Tomorrow : I learned about the project Tomorrow my colleague and friend Carolin Adie there about a year I am immediately interested, but kept getting "busy" as the year progressed and I think the programmed speech. Rogers and hear talk again, I decided to go
(2) Why were you forced to participate? because I think it's a good cause, it is the important research and valuable to us all as a society, and because I can! I'm pretty lucky to be in a situation where I can participate in terms of my health and criteria, so why not? It is also a good opportunity for self-evaluation, self-reflection, awareness and think about a few things and personal health habits.
(2) What was the process like? Easy. After applying online, I received a package in the mail. They followed me with a phone call and a meeting scheduled for testing at their center. I filled out the questionnaire at home which took about 45 minutes, brought with me to my appointment a few weeks later, and the appointment took about 45 minutes as well. Volunteers are pleasant, helpful and explained what they did and why they did. There were samples of blood, urine sample, blood pressure, height and weight, a few questions, basic medical information, etc ...
(3) What others can expect to learn / takeaway from involved? awareness (self and society), importance of health, and it just feels good to participate! It was a fun and easy process.
There are thus several months when we were approached by Jordan Debarros, Communications Advisor for Tomorrow Project (the largest study of Alberta) to come in this to our employees, we didn 'not hesitate to say yes. Following the well-attended presentation, we had a huge amount of positive feedback from employees who wish to participate in the project, we felt that as a partnership-oriented, it was important to share with our community.

that cancer affects the lives of Albertans ? Or 1-2 men will develop cancer in their lifetime and 1 to 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer? Perhaps darker, is that one in four Albertans will die of cancer.
The Tomorrow Project is a success story in Alberta, and the largest health research study ever undertaken in our province. Its goal is to learn more about the causes of cancer and other health conditions. Learn more about what causes the disease will help researchers develop better strategies to improve our health in the future. To achieve this, the project must register Tomorrow 50,000 Albertans between the ages of 35-69 who have not already had cancer (except nonmelanoma skin cancer). To date, the Tomorrow project of 36,000 Albertan scored. Among them, you can recognize a familiar face, that is surviving prostate cancer and former Dragon Brett Wilson.
