Winning at Losing program
Winning at Losing is an eight-week program led by a registered dietitian that gives practical tools for long-term weight loss success. Fad diets are only a short-term solution. The key to successful weight management is healthy eating habits and regular activity.

- The Winning at Losing guide
- An evaluation for your current food intake
- One week sample menu
- Recipes & healthy snack ideas
- Label reading tools
- Fat and fibre facts

Food Skills for Families
Food Skills for Families is a six-week program that teaches groups how to cook tasty, healthy meals, learn to read food labels and make healthy choices. The program, created by dietitians and educators, is built on Canada’s Food Guide and meets the needs of five groups: Aboriginal, newcomers, Punjabi, low income families and seniors. However, anyone who wants to learn how to prevent or manage diabetes and other chronic diseases, and optimize their family’s health through renewed shopping and cooking skills, is encouraged to join.
