      Hello!
      The Passports are new this year, they are activity sheets for participants to enjoy during the week of Jack Frost Challenge 2021. They include ideas for outdoor activities, mini challenges and even some incentives from local businesses. If you would like to see more details you can check out our blog post!

    Hi there! For a workplace team, does it need to be comprised of solely individuals from one workplace, or can spouses be involved?

    Also, can people sign up on more than one team? (i.e. a family team, and a workplace team?)

      Hi!
      Thanks for your questions.
      It depends how the workplace is doing it, if they are doing individual teams within it is totally up to you and the workplace or teams if you want to have spouses join. If they are doing it as a whole company they would only be eligible for some very specific workplace prizes that may not be applicable to your spouse. Check out more of our workplace info in this blog post: https://greenactioncentre.ca/healthy-travel/travel-planning-for-work/jack-frost-challenge-for-workplaces/

      Individuals can only sign up for one team.

      Good Luck!
