Do you have kids in the house who could benefit from a healthier lifestyle?
The City of Burnaby is offering the MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do It!) program for seven- to 13-year-olds and their families, starting April 12.
The program runs Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. at Cameron Elementary School, 9540 Erickson Dr.
MEND brings families together for two-ho0ur sessions that combine active living, healthy eating and behaviour change. The first hour is devoted to interactive discussions and activities about nutrition and family behaviour; the second hour offers continued discussion for parents while the kids take part in fun physical activities.
Families learn about nutrition, how to read food labels, how to make small changes that can last a lifetime, and how to change eating and exercise habits by setting goals and rewards.
Interested? Call Traci Addison at 604-415-3559 or email [email protected].
