Upcoming Events: June is National Safety month

Goodlife fitness Canada is offering a free Teen Fitness Program for youth
ages 12-17 at all Goodlife locations from 8:00am-4:00pm, 7 days a week for the
months of July and August, 2011.  Registration Begins June 1st, 2011 online. This is a great opportunity for our youth to get active this summer in a real
gym!

Healthy Lunch Program: We feed 130 Kids nutritious meals Monday thru Friday

After School Program: Marilyn Chapman, a volunteer here at the club has begun teaching nutrition
classes to the after school groups under our community kitchens grant.  The
children have been very responsive to the classes and love to try all of the
different fruit she brings in.  She has taught them how each individual fruit is
good for certain body parts (for example the blueberry is good for the eye and
the tomato is good for the heart and even has four chambers like a human
heart).

Weekly Healthy Challenge

The club is participating in Jamie Oliver`s Food Revolutions national campaign to reduce the amount of sweetened milk being served to our children and youth.  It is taking place Thursday June 9th, 2011.  On this day we will not serve or sell chocolate milk in our facility.  Instead, white milk, water, and 100% real fruit juice will be sold and served.  Did you know that chocolate milk has 4 teaspoons of added sugar then regular white milk.  Milk is a good source of nutrients for kids, but the flavoured varieties have more calories, and are
highly processed with lots of sugar and additives.
