Kids in the Kitchen event, to help raise awareness of childhood obesity
To address the urgent issue of childhood obesity, the Junior League of Edmonton, with the support of parents and other caregivers, has implemented a program to empower the children in our community to adopt healthy eating habits.
The Junior League’s Kids in the Kitchen initiative, which uses a hands-on educational approach, is now in its 7th year in our community, and has been launched by Junior Leagues in more than 250 other communities across Canada, the United States, Mexico and the United Kingdom.
Our event this year is being held on April 5, 2012 at NAIT, and we are partnering with the Boys and Girls Club of Edmonton to bring at-risk children to participate.
The evening will consist of a cooking segment and an activity / nutritional education segment. NAIT has generously provided their culinary school for a hands-on cooking experience for all participants.

“By joining together to make an impact on the future health of our youth, Junior Leagues will heighten awareness and recognition of the power of voluntarism to address community problems on both the grassroots and international levels.”
