Healthy Eating and Physical Activity

Healthy eating is important for growth and development. Eating well and being active help kids learn and do their best. Parents play a vital role in encouraging kids to start healthy habits.

Live Well

Learn how to eat healthy, be active, and feel good on our WDGLiveWell.ca website.  Work your way through interactive modules about:

  1. Portion size
  2. Fat and fibre
  3. Physical activity
  4. Food labels
  5. Menu planning
  6. Helping your child eat well

Community Food Advisors (CFAs)

Trained volunteers present to community groups, schools, and organizations. Topics can be:

  • Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating
  • Planning a menu
  • Handling food safely
  • Grocery shopping and budgeting
  • Preparing, cooking, storing, and preserving food

The CFA program is free, but you must buy the food and supplies. We also ask for $10 to cover the volunteer’s transportation costs.

To ask for a CFA volunteer, complete the request form six weeks before your event. Email the form to Rita Hsu (rita.hsu@wdgpublichealth.ca).

For more information about the CFA program, visit CommunityFoodAdvisor.ca.
