E-Newsletter

February 25, 2008 -- Volume 1, Issue 2

Welcome to the second issue of our E-newsletter.  Thanks for all the submissions to this edition.  Our listserve is up and running and a great place to discuss your projects and ask questions of colleagues.  If not already on our listserve you can sign-up here.

Also we are also looking for photographs of community based healthy living initiatives to put on our website.  Please send us your photos and remember people in the photo must give you permission to submit it. 

The Manitoba Healthy Living Resource Clearinghouse (HRLC) works to enhance capacity for the delivery of healthy living initiatives.

The success of our newsletter depends on the contributions of people and organizations across Manitoba.  Please contact us if you would like to:

• promote an event;
• share a community capacity building resource or tool;
• be added or removed from the e-newsletter mailing list;
• include a volunteer or employment opportunity in the e-newsletter
• submit a photo for our website; or
• promote a call for proposals.
