Mission and values  Our mission  Go le Grand defiThe Grand défi
Pierre Lavoie’s mission is to encourage young people to adopt
healthy life habits.  To achieve its goal, the Grand défi has
partnered with Quebec schools to help kids make healthier
choices in their everyday lives, to build habits that will
become the norm for future generations. Our three areas of
action are physical activity, healthy eating and perseverance at
school.  In parallel, we also seek to raise parents’ awareness
of the importance of a healthy lifestyle for their children’s
health and, of course, for their own health.  In November 2008,
the Grand défi Pierre Lavoie became the largest health-related
event to ever be organized in the province.  Official legal name
of the Grand défi Pierre Lavoie: Go le Grand défi Inc.
Registration number: 848466298RR0001.  Our values  For an
organization whose success depends on the commitment and
dedication of thousands of people—teachers, volunteers,
partners, employees—mutual respect is a core value.
