HEALTH-a-FAIR
SET MARCH 11

More than 15 community agencies and
government bodies are cooperating to’
present a free day-long Health-a-Fair on
the Surrey Campus of Doublas College
March

"Cons rve Your Health will be the slogan
- for the day," said Douglas College
Communi Cy Consultant Chris Johnson,
‘because that's exactly what we'd like to
encourage people to do.

eo itness is not just jogging, For instance,
if we can get a guy out of his armchair to
look at dickie birds, he may have to
walk three miles to do it, so we've
already got him doing more than he was,"
Johnson commented.

 

Provincial Fitness Coordinator Wendy.
Robertson will be a special guest at the
Health-a-Fair, and will speak at 1 p.m,
on health and fitness.

"We're asking people to come out and try
the step-test and the sub-maximal stress
test to determine how fit they are now;
and then take the nutrition analysis to
determine how nutritious ‘their eating
habits are; and to take the lifestyle
inventory to see where the weak spots
are," he detailed,

All these activites and many more are
planned to continue throughout the day.

People are asked to drop in and browse
around at any time during the day. Experts
in many areas of health and fitness will

be available at displays to talk to any-
one about ways they can improve or
maintain their health and fitness.

There will be door prizes awarded every
hour, with a main draw to be held at some
point during the day.

"For instance, even though they have
very small food budgets, lots of people
go out and spend that small budget on
the wrong kind of food. Food is very
important to fitness and health. We can
show people how to spend that budget
wisely, and on nutritious food.

"There are lots of agencies in your
community interested in helping you to
improve or maintain your health, and
many of them will be available on
Saturday," he said.

Some of these are: the Ministry of
Recreation and Conservation, Royal
Columbian/Douglas Education Centre,
TOPS, Weight Watchers, Surrey Parks and
Recreation Commission, New Westminster
YM-YWCA, Action B.C., the B.C. Heart
Foundation, Canadian Cancer Society,
Simon Fraser and Boundary Health Units,
B.C. TB and Christmas Seal Society, and
the Canadian Association for Preventative
and Orthomolecular Medicine.

Everyone is welcome to drop in to Heath-
a-Fair in the four-room complex of the
Surrey Campus of Douglas College, 9260 -
140th St. from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on
Saturday, March ll.
