Projects in 2011 and Past Projects

In addition to our core operations, our Centre leads and/or supports a variety of other projects each year.

Projects in 2011

Healthy U Website: Since 2003, our Centre has been contracted by Alberta Health and Wellness to provide quality content, such as topic pages and news articles, for three main areas: Active Living, Healthy Eating and Healthy Places. The Healthy U website is a valuable resource that has been widely popular, within Alberta and beyond.

Physical Activity Resources for Practitioners: Practitioners can now access a set of ten plain language resources in English, called the Physical Activity Counselling Toolkit.

These resources will be translated into four other languages in the months ahead. To be notified when these are available, join our mailing list.

The project was funded by the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks & Wildlife Foundation.

Environmental Scan of After-School Programs in Alberta: This project involves a province-wide environmental scan of after-school programs for children aged 6-11. The scan will examine the focus or goal of individual after-school programs, the types of organizations offering programs, and the amount of active and sedentary time experienced by children within the after-school programs. The project is funded by the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks & Wildlife Foundation.

Sacred Circle - Aboriginal Diabetes Initiative Evaluation Project: The Centre is working in partnership with the Alberta Native Friendship Centres Association to evaluate a new, train-the-trainer manual and associated three-day workshop. Our role is to evaluate the knowledge, skills and confidence of health educators to use the manual and other information and tools provided to them through the workshop.
