Thursday, March 20th, is the UN International Day of Happiness! This year's theme, Caring and Sharing, highlights the importance of meaningful connections. Happiness isn’t just about individual joy—it’s about caring for each other, feeling connected, and being part of something bigger.

Wellness@Work invites you to celebrate by connecting with a colleague over a hot beverage, on us!

Participate in Sip & Connect!

Join us for a simple yet powerful way to foster connections at work. Sign up to receive two complimentary medium hot beverage vouchers from Tim Hortons—one for you and one for a colleague. Take this opportunity to step away from your desk, enjoy a warm drink, and strengthen your workplace connections!

How to Participate:

  • Register by 4 pm on Wednesday, March 19 (Limited to the first 100 registrants!)
  • Pick up your two vouchers on Thursday, March 20 between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. from the University Centre, First Floor, Northwest (outside the North Elevators next to UC Starbucks). Look for our table!
  • We encourage you to come with your colleague to pick up your vouchers and head straight for your break. If that’s not possible, be sure to connect over a hot beverage later in March!
  • Capture the moment! Submit a photo of yourselves on the International Day of Happiness Kudoboard to share the joy!
