The Message

So, what is our message? ... CHANGE. Change what?

In a nutshell, Nova Scotia has one of the highest rates of heart disease in Canada. Our healthcare system cannot afford to continue as it is. We, as a province, must change:

• Change our lifestyles to include better nutrition and more activity
• Change the healthcare system to place more emphasis on preventing chronic disease
• Change our childrens' education to give them the tools that will help them make healthier lifestyle choices - choices that will benefit them for decades to come.
• Change public policy to increase funding for programs and facilities that promote a healthy lifestyle
