 Our new magazine, Healthy Schools Alberta, is a great new way to share information about positive social environments, physical activity and healthy eating with Alberta school communities. The magazine is delivered to all Alberta schools and is available online and at our conference in January if you'd like a free copy. Our electronic newsletter also has a new look! Tell us what you think! |
