Grand Defi Pierre Lavoie

The hours of exercise accumulated by students at Honore Mercier Elementary School in St. Leonard was rewarded recently when Team Saputo, participants in the annual Grand Defi Pierre Lavoie, presented the school with a cheque for $8,000. Annually, participating teams in the 1,000 km bicycle trek raise money on behalf of the most active schools in the province in order to boost their physical education programs. In total, students accumulated over 130,000 energy cubes, equaling more than 32,500 combined hours of physical activity.
