Network Activities

As the network identifies priority areas for working together, subcommittees may be formed. Here are some examples of the Network initiatives:

Promoting and supporting healthy eating in our schools through the Healthy School Nutrition Environment Workgroup.
Creating a Directory of Halton Registered Dietitians in Halton. This resource is designed to help find appropriate and credible nutrition services in Halton. The Directory lists names and contact information for Registered Dietitians working for an agency or operating a private pratice within the Halton Region.
Hosting a community nutrition presentation. In April 2004, Liz Pearson, a Registered Dietitian, TV celebrity, and best-selling author spoke to an audience of over 300 Halton residents on healthy eating for families with hectic schedules. In April 2006, two workshops are planned to provide tips to parents and children for eating well and being active at home and at school.
