Community Comes Together for Diabetes Education Workshop
On August 14, SCAN partnered with Wellfort Community Health Services to host a successful Diabetes Education Workshop, bringing together local residents for a day of learning, engagement, and empowerment. The event focused on providing participants with practical tools to manage diabetes and live healthier lives.
Expert Guidance on Managing Diabetes
The workshop featured a presentation by Ade, a diabetes care expert. Ade explained the causes and risks of diabetes, outlined strategies for controlling blood sugar, and shared tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle through balanced diet, regular exercise, and consistent monitoring.
Participants also received valuable resources from Diabetes Canada and Wellfort, ensuring they left with both knowledge and practical tools for daily life.
Active Living and Fun for Everyone
To encourage movement, the workshop included a low-impact exercise session designed for all fitness levels. This segment helped participants experience firsthand how gentle, regular activity supports blood sugar control and overall health.
Special Guests and Community Engagement
We were honored to welcome Deepak Anand, MPP for Mississauga–Malton, who engaged directly with participants, addressed questions, and shared thoughtful gifts. His presence strengthened the community connection and added a special touch to the event.
