Minding Our Bodies is reaching out to more audiences, including francophone Ontarians, to spread the word about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity for mental health. Our call for expressions of interest was translated into French and attracted several applications from organizations serving the francophone community. We decided it was time to find a French equivalent for our project name, Minding Our Bodies. In November 2011, we launched a contest asking for French versions of the name that would capture the mental and physical health connection in a catchy and memorable way. We received lots of ideas and we were impressed by everyone’s creativity.

The winning entry — Le corps en tête — was submitted by Natacha Ducharme, who will receive a pre-paid Visa card worth $200. Our new French name will make its debut in the French version of our video — look for it this spring. Thank you to everyone who participated in the contest!
