Take Charge

A collection of resources for Child Care providers in Windsor and Essex County

Many Windsor-Essex County residents spend a lot of time at work most days; therefore, creating a healthy workplace environment is critical when it comes to promoting and supporting healthy eating behaviours.

Take Charge is a local program that encourages and supports Windsor-Essex County residents to eat healthy whether at work, at school, in daycares, or out in the community. The Take Charge program is helping our community to provide better access to nutrition education, and healthy food and beverage options.

Employed adults spend the majority of their waking hours at work and for many, several of those hours are spent sitting in meetings. The types of food available at meetings and the lack of physical activity can impact the health and productivity of employees.
