Mac employees: Join Weight Watchers at Work campaign

McMaster is committed to helping employees maintain a healthy lifestyle.

To help employees reach their weight-loss goals, we have partnered with Hamilton Health Sciences and Weight Watchers Canada to offer Weight Watchers at Work at several campus locations.

By joining Weight Watchers at Work, you will have access to a wealth of resources and receive support with your weight loss goals. This includes weekly meetings with a Weight Watchers coach (for 20 weeks) and access to Weight Watchers eTools that will allow you to keep track of your progress and find healthy recipe ideas.

The weekly meetings will take place at the main campus on Mondays from noon to 1 p.m. An orientation and registration meeting is scheduled at this location for Sept. 14. The program will start the following week, pending a minimum of 15 participants. The program is also available at other campus locations. Please check the website for details.

If you are interested in participating in Weight Watchers at Work, please send an email to dgarland@mcmaster.ca or call ext. 24556.
