Healthy Workplace

The CBU campus is not only an attractive and inviting place to work; it is a healthy workplace, as well.  We offer eligible employees a competitive health benefits package that includes a health and dental plan, life insurance, travel insurance, a long term disability plan, and an Employee and Family Assistance Plan (EFAP).  As well, to help employees achieve good health and well-being, the campus offers convenient access to a wide range of activities.

Here’s a snapshot.  Located on campus is the Cape Breton Health Recreation Complex, a state-of-the-art fitness complex that houses an indoor/outdoor soccer turf, outdoor beach volleyball courts, a walking track, an indoor driving range, CBU’s fitness centre and much more. There are yoga and other fitness classes offered during lunchtime, the Sullivan Fieldhouse is open for a variety of activities including basketball and badminton and employees can enjoy skating at the Canada Games Complex.  Conveniently located behind Harriss Hall is a beautiful walking trail allowing employees to enjoy nature while being physically active.  Check out the schedule of events for the 2011-12 academic year

In addition to physical activities there are also a number of ways to keep your mind and heart engaged.  You may choose to join the chorale to exercise your voice, the Boardmore Theatre to give expression to your need to perform, or perhaps volunteering with an on-campus group such as the Women’s Centre is more your style. 

And finally, you can look beyond campus to activities in the community.  Browse the culture and entertainment section to see where your next adventure might be.
