In 2015,  a study by The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care showed that one-third of Canadian men and half of Canadian women are slightly overweight or hitting the obese mark.

 

That’s due to unhealthy lifestyles that include habits such as a poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking and drinking.

 

The Northern Health Region is partnering with the Wellness Institute of Winnipeg to offer workshops with the Get Better Together Program.

The program begins March 1, 2023, and will run for 6 weeks at the Library Annex.

 

It’s for individuals living with chronic health issues and will be led by trainers who are familiar with such conditions.

 

The program is free to attend but you need to register in advance to attend.
