Healthy Weights

Public Health is committed to supporting Ontario’s Action Plan for Healthy Eating and Active Living. Helping the people of Grey Bruce achieve and maintain a healthy body weight through regular activity and healthy food choices will decrease the rates of obesity and heart disease that remain higher for this area than the provincial average.
