Stepfest

For 21 days in August, your organization turns every step into a celebration. The Stepfest isn't a corporate wellness program disguised as fun — it IS the fun. Teams compete to accumulate the most steps while the sun is out, the days are long, and every excuse to walk is a good one.

August is usually the quietest month in the office. Half the team is on vacation, routines are broken, and engagement dips. The Stepfest flips that on its head: whether you're walking on a beach in the Maritimes, hiking a trail in the Laurentians, or exploring a new city on vacation, every step counts for your team.

Why it works in August

Summer is naturally the easiest time to move. The weather is warm, the days are long, and people are already outside. The Stepfest doesn't ask anyone to change their behavior — it just makes what they're already doing count for something. A family walk after a BBQ, a stroll through a farmers' market, an evening bike path detour on foot — it all adds up.

Team energy, summer vibes

Each team builds its own momentum. The real-time leaderboard creates friendly rivalry without the pressure of a formal competition. Conversations happen naturally: "I did 14,000 steps exploring Old Montreal this weekend — our team jumped to second place!" That's the Stepfest effect: movement becomes a story worth sharing.

Active mobility, everywhere

The Stepfest celebrates one thing above all: choosing to move on your own two feet. Walking to the corner store instead of driving. Exploring a new neighbourhood on foot instead of by car. Taking the long way home because the evening is beautiful. Every step is a choice for active mobility — and in August, those choices come easily.

21 days of summer energy

Three weeks is the perfect window to ride the summer wave. Long enough to build team dynamics, short enough to keep the energy high from start to finish. By the time the Stepfest ends, your teams will have moved more than they thought possible — and had fun doing it.
