Is it possible to manage your weight over the holiday season?

FY 2011-12

Summary
The holiday season presents many unique challenges for people who are trying to manage their weight. Parties, special occasions and family gatherings often are a problem because overeating is encouraged. In addition, December and January are dark and cool months in Canada, which generally causes people to cut back on their physical activity. This cafe will offer a panel of experts who will help participants develop strategies to manage their weight and remain active over the challenging holiday period between late November and Early January.
