E-Newsletter

March 24, 2008 -- Volume 1, Issue 3

As we continue to update our website we continue to look 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 their permission for the photo to be used. 

We are also in the process of developing a 'how to' workshop on using our soon to be updated website for community capacity building. Please contact us if you would like to discuss hosting a workshop in your community.

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.
