Since 2017, the Tchin-tchin Challenge allows the celebration of water during the third week of March on the occasion of Canada Water Week and World Water Day. 

The Tchin-tchin Challenge is an awareness raising activity that encourages elementary school students to drink water during school lunches. It aims to promote water as the best drink for hydration and caring for one’s health, while having fun at the same time. In March 2022, 551 schools and over 125,400 students participated in the Tchin-tchin Challenge!

 

From March 20th to 24th, 2023, let's all raise our glasses and water bottles to toast to healthy hydration!

 

DRAW: By registering your school before February 10, you can win one of the lots of water bottles.

PARTICIPATION PRIZE: Register before March 3, 2023 to receive stickers for all students!

Encourage parents to make water the preferred drink at home!

Did you know that students are more likely to adopt healthy lifestyles when their parents are involved?

Before the Challenge:

  • hand out or send letters to parents and provide the tool Ideas For Drinking More Water;
    offer the possibility to the Parent Participation Organization (PPO) to plan an activity on water, to contribute in planned activities or to encourage the use of water fountains;
    remind parents to put water bottles in their child's lunch box to participate in the Challenge.

 

During the Challenge:

  • Encourage parents (via e-mail, discussion, social networks of the school, etc.) to also participate in the
    Tchin-tchin as a family, with water, during mealtimes and have them consult the I'm thirsty for health! Campaign
    tools, designed especially for them, at thirstyforhealth.ca/home.
