Health, Wellness & Safety | Programs
Currently the Health, Wellness, and Benefits Committee directly manages three major programs:
- Team Up!
- Work Well!
- Now for the Future!
Team Up!
Did you know that the Local 37 HWBC has a unique funding program in place that is available to help teams of IBEW members participate in charitable fundraising events related to health and wellness? Eligible fundraising events must involve physical activity on the part of participants. Over the years this program has helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for charities in New Brunswick like the Relay for Life, Run for the Cure, St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation, and Shinerama whilepromoting camaraderie among members and visibility of Local 37.
The level of funding available for eligible events depends on the needs identified in the application process. For example, the funds may help pay for event registration fees or the purchase of items for the team such as hats, water bottles, flashlights, etc.
If you want to help make difference, find an eligible event, get a team together, and fill out an application form!

Work Well!
Have you ever thought about starting a walking group at work, learning about healthy lifestyle choices, or perhaps how to go about getting a piece of fitness equipment for your workplace? The HWBC has a funding program in place to help members initiate or participate in eligible workplace wellness activities such as fitness and/or healthy eating workshops, wellness clinics, walking and/or weight loss clubs, purchase of fitness equipment, etc. Fill out an application form!

Now for the Future!
In partnership with the Training Trust Fund, the HWBC co-sponsors two workshops that help members make informed decisions about financial planning. These courses (Prime Approach and Plansmart) are offered throughout the year in various locations. These courses have helped hundreds of members be prepared for a successful retirement.
