This event is in honour of Provincial Eating Disorder Awareness Week, taking place from February 1 to 7.
Provincial Eating Disorder Awareness Week is a time to spark important conversations about eating disorders and the impact they have on mental and physical health. Eating disorders are more common than many of us realize and can affect anyone—regardless of age, gender, or background. By raising awareness and sharing knowledge, we can create a community that fosters understanding, compassion, and early intervention.
