Some of the highest provincial rates of childhood obesity are
found in Eastern Ontario. Unhealthy weight in children can lead
to medical conditions that we normally see in middle-aged adults
(e.g. hypertension, diabetes, and respiratory problems). To
tackle this serious public health problem, the Eastern Ontario
Health Unit has launched the Energize...Now for Tomorrow!
program. Energize representatives are working hard throughout
the community, schools, and workplaces to offer education,
training, and networking opportunities with the aim of reducing
the level of childhood obesity within the five Eastern Counties.
