Communities in Action “Community Gardening brings together shared activities, social interaction, dispersal of knowledge, and can transcend all age groups to build a healthier, happier community.” Chair, CDPI Community Committee Chronic Disease Prevention Initiative – A Community of Partners

Communities in Action “I felt proud to see how good my garden was growing. People who came to see it said, ‘Wow, I can’t believe this is your garden!’, and I felt good about all the positive comments I received.” Gardening Project Participant Duck Bay, Manitoba Chronic Disease Prevention Initiative – A Community of Partners

Communities in Action “I am really happy I joined the Walking Club. When I joined, I didn’t know what to expect. The club meets once a week for a group walk which made it easier for me to make friends and a chance to get active and socialize at the same time. I find that I have more energy to look after my family. Being in the Walking Club, I have received numerous personal invites to attend local educational sessions, which I find very encouraging. Overall, I feel welcomed into the community.” Walking Club Participant Duck Bay, Manitoba Chronic Disease Prevention Initiative – A Community of Partners

Communities in Action “CDPI is very beneficial for our community. Our community participated in an individual gardening project and are now planning to expand this initiative by having a community garden. I strongly believe this will help our people. By working on their own plots they will get physically active and have access to fresh vegetables.” Mayor Duck Bay, Manitoba Chronic Disease Prevention Initiative – A Community of Partners

Communities in Action “We should have done this a long time ago because in the sharing that happened today we have learned so much about each other that will benefit all of us in the future.” Community Partners Meeting on Nutrition Selkirk Chronic Disease Prevention Initiative – A Community of Partners
