Healthy Weights, Healthy Lives in Timiskaming!

This Call to Action presents the latest research, data, reports and local suggestions to guide us in our efforts to work together to improve the health of Timiskaming by creating environments in which we live, work, learn and play that promote healthy weights.  Make healthy eating and active living the easy choice for everyone!

While the Health Care Sector and the Timiskamng Health Unit have a responsibility to promote healthy weights, we cannot do it alone.  A community-wide effort, involving commitment and leadership from the following sectors is required to make a difference in reversing this serious health trend:

• health professionals
• municipal government
• workplaces
• school boards and schools
• individuals, parents and caregivers
• community organizations and businesses
• media
