New message --healthy weights programming

[Tara Giffin]

Greetings,

I'll try this again as many may not want to open an attachment for fear of viruses, etc.

Currently, Toronto Public Health is in the initial stages of developing a comprehensive, multi-strategic program focussing on Healthy Weights promotion.  We are aware that many agencies/health units in other areas are also doing work on this topic.  Thus, we are hoping to gather some information on what other agencies are doing on this topic to help us in our planning.  Any information you can provide would be helpful.  Specifically, we are looking for information on types of strategies being used, target groups, outcome and/or process evaluation results (i.e. what worked and what did not work), recommendations, partnerships formed, etc.

We are planning to combine the responses into a summary report and we would be happy to share it with others once it is completed.

Please respond to this request for information via e-mail (tgiffin at city.toronto.on.ca). 

We appreciate your help with this request.

Tara
