Aboriginal Diabetes Education
The Aboriginal Diabetes Education Program at Kenora Chiefs Advisory addresses the concerning prevalence and incidence of diabetes in the Aboriginal population.
Our program strives to provide practical and useful skills and knowledge to promote health and optimal diabetes management. This is done primarily through a variety of initiatives, including public health fairs, community workshops, cooking classes, resource development and presentations in schools.
We currently have a registered dietitian coordinating the program and are actively looking to expand.
Our community partners include:
- Ochiichagwe’babigo’ining
- Obashkaandagaang
- Shoal Lake #40
- Iskatewizaagegan #39
- Naotkamegwanning
- Grassy Narrows and
- Wabaseemoong.
