October 2009 eNewsletter
Call for photos reminder:
What stops people from being able to make healthy choices in your community? Lack of sidewalks? Inaccessible recreation space? Can you show it to us in a photo or two? Health in Common is looking for your photos of systemic and policy driven barriers to your healthy sustainable community. We’d like to build a collection of photos from across Manitoba that could be used in presentations, promotional materials for Health in Common, and in a photo album on our website.
Please send your photos to contact@healthincommon.ca and be sure to let us know where the photo was taken, along with a bit of a caption to tell your story. Thanks in advance – we can’t wait to see what you send in!
November E-Newsletter deadline is October 23.
