Grant: Knowledge Translation Supplement

To transfer knowledge obtained from a community-based nutrition and physical exercise intervention study that was conducted in Indigenous communities in Arctic Canada. The knowledge recipient is the Hamlet of Arviat, located in Nunavut. The primary goal is to describe and demonstrate successful activities that effectively improve dietary behaviors and physical activity which, in turn, result in improved health and risk reduction for chronic diseases. The community of Arviat has expressed strong interest and support to obtain this knowledge which they feel is needed in order to address their nutritional, exercise, and health related concerns. The role and benefits of traditional foods and activities will be highlighted during each of the four knowledge transfer activities conducted using the local language of Inuktitut: workshops, cooking classes, walking clubs, and classroom learning module.
