We kicked off 2025 with a challenge to our MK staff and all of Mi'kmaki - Waqmatalmk Punamuiku’s - Eating Clean in January. We all know the importance of eating well and with diabetes being such a prominent illness for Indigenous people across the country, we wanted to offer a challenge to eat clean and offered some guidance and tips on how to do that.
Our social media platform was used to share some videos, photos, recipes, tips and tricks on how to choose foods that have a lower Glycemic Index, how to read food labels, making better choices while eating at restaurants and more. Weekly prize draws kept the engagement going and so many people had some amazing snacks and recipes to share!
The Health and Nutrition team from the Union of Nova Scotia Mi'kmaq offered a lunch workshop for our team at MK. It was great to learn about nutrition and to reinforce the good things that many of our staff were already doing. We hope everyone enjoyed taking part and that they continue on the healthy path throughout the year!
