Greetings and welcome to the January E-Newsletter!  

Healthy Together Now, the provincial brand of the Chronic Disease Prevention Initiative (CDPI) was launched at their Share & Learn on December 2nd.  Watch for the updated CDPI section on the HEALTH in COMMON website early in the new year.  The updated site will include 69 chronic disease prevention stories from 45 Manitoba communities and two provincially produced chronic disease prevention videos. 

As the fiscal year end approaches a number of organisations plan meetings and events.  Please send us your meeting details!  We are happy to promote public events in our e-newsletter and on our Meeting & Events Calendar.  Check out the calendar to see when others are meeting.  Don't forget to send us your meeting dates so others can avoid conflicts too. We'll include contact information or website links for public events and include only the meeting name for private meetings.

The deadline for submissions for inclusion in the February E-Newsletter is January 23.
