LIVE RIGHT NOW - Be part of a healthy movement!
As part of the Association’s mission to help people with diabetes live healthy lives while we work to find a cure, the Association is proud to partner with CBC, and other leading Canadian health organizations, on a national initiative to motivate Canadians to live healthier—to change the health of this country. LIVE RIGHT NOW is a six-month program designed to inspire Canadians to make small, manageable changes that will have a big and lasting effect on their health.
Along with the other LIVE RIGHT NOW advisory board members - Breakfast for Learning, Canadian Obesity Network, Dietitians of Canada, Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group, Heart and Stroke Foundation, ParticipACTION and YMCA of Canada, in partnership with Loblaw Companies Ltd. and the Ontario Medical Association – the Canadian Diabetes Association is helping CBC to create a positive, fun and supportive environment for Canadians to start leading healthier lives.
