The Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick hosted its third annual Workplace Wellness Conference on April 23rd at the Crown Plaza in Moncton. Special Keynote speaker this year was Dr. Larry Ohlhauser who provided an interactive session that educated, encouraged, empowered and best of all entertained all those who were in attendance. The conference also had the pleasure of featuring Keynote Speaker Billy Strean, an expert on applying laughter and humor to help people be more engaged and have more fun, while producing extraordinary results in their workplace. 

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick’s goal for this conference is for participants to be provided the opportunity to exchange ideas, strategies, and techniques that will help create healthier workplaces, as well as help organizations to enhance performance, well-being, and increase productivity. 

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick and their partners; the Government of New Brunswick and the College of Psychologists of New Brunswick once again presented workplaces in this provine with the Wellness at Heart Award for 2008.
