By Jennifer McFee Community Futures West Interlake is earning accolades for a partnership project with Woodlands Childcare. The organization recently won the Community Futures Award for Excel- lence and Innovation 2018 for its in- depth research into the social return on investment for Woodlands Child- care (WCC). Lana Cowling-Mason, general man- ager of Community Futures West Interlake, said the award came as a pleasant surprise. “There are lots of great projects that are going on across our province,” she said. “It’s always great to be rec- ognized, but there are lots of projects that are equally deserving.” In an attempt to quantify the value of WCC, which was established in September 2015, Community Futures Community Futures West TRIBUNE PHOTO SUBMITTED West Interlake embarked on a social Interlake won the Community The wee ones at Woodlands Childcare had a chance to check out the return on investment evaluation by Futures Award for Excellence and Inukshuk-shaped award. analyzing the social, environmental Innovation. and economic impacts.

Seeing the sign on the side of my truck that I was a fi shing columnist, he called out, “Come on in.” “I’m Shane Barchuck,” he continued as I stepped into his shack and took the seat he offered me.

By Lindsey Enns Be mindful of your eating habits, cook more often and eat more meals with others are just some of the tips you’ll fi nd in Canada’s new food guide. Health Canada unveiled some ma- jor changes to its food guide, the fi rst in 12 years, last Tuesday. The guide is aimed at promoting healthier eat- ing and lifestyle choices while doing away with portion sizes and the four food groups. Instead, the new guide encourages Canadians to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, protein-rich foods, whole grains while making wa- ter your drink of choice. Jay Adam, a dietitian based in Teulon with the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority (IERHA), is a big fan of all the changes, which he says comes from “a pure health angle.” TRIBUNE PHOTOS BY LINDSEY ENNS AND SUBMITTED “Medical professionals who work in obesity, to nutrition scientists, to dieti- Jay Adam, a dietitian with the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority, pictured above, shares his tians who I have been in touch with thoughts on Canada’s new food guide, which was unveiled last Tuesday.
