Healthy Choices Program

 

The purpose of the Healthy Choices Program is to get people excited and informed about the choices they make when it comes to their health and nutrition.  As we all know, there is an important link between nutrition, healthy lifestyle and our health.  We believe it is important to know how to eat and live healthy.  There is NO fee for being involved in this program, however; registration is limited.

The following workshops and events are part of our Healthy Choices Program.  If you have any requests or ideas for upcoming workshops, feel free to let staff know.

The Recipe Box (formerly The Good Food Bag):

The Good Food Bag is back - with a new name and attitude!
Meeting the first Thursday of every month, this group meets to discuss healthy eating and living well in a variety of different ways.  Each month, participants will leave with a bag of food items that they can use to cook at home.  This group will learn to cook new and healthy meals, shop for healthy meals, shop on a budget, and sometimes prepare a small meal to eat together. 

Impress the Chef:

This monthly club will challenge your culinary skills.  Create your own unique recipe and see whose food masterpiece reigns supreme!  These fun and friendly mini-competitions take place in the centre and will have you baking up a storm.  You will try new flavour combinations that you've never experienced.  Plus, our in house chef will judge your creations and the winner will have their recipe published in our newsletter.

Restaurant Club:

Join the Peer Group on an outing to a local restaurant for lunch!  This a great opportunity to try new foods, make healthy food choices and talk to friends while enjoying a meal.  The second part of this club is to gather and share your experience with the group.  This is your chance to be a food critic and review the food and to give your opinion.

Action! Wellness Group

This group offers participants a chance to take control of their health and well-being.  Together, we will learn tips for shopping and budgeting from nutrition experts, develop healthy habits, create meal plans, exercise and even pamper ourselves from time to time!
