Objectif: un million d'Autochtones qui bougent!

Contribué par : Lean N'Clean

Exécution de 08/09/10 avec 44 participants

The Walk and Bingo combination went a whole lot better than I expected it would.  We had a total of 31 particpants for the walk.  The walk was less than a mile long and it was along San Carlos Avenue and there were booths set up along the walk for other programs to promote their prevention activities and/or give out their program information.  The walk ended at the Diabetes Prevention Program building and we started the Diabetes Educational Bingo.  I got more participants than I had expected, and the greatest thing was that I got different participants than I usually get.  Our prizes were not the greatest but it isn't something that one would think to buy unless they really needed it so it worked out well.  Most of them were garden tools and items for the kitchen like a dish strainer.  I'm hoping we will continue to have great turnouts, maybe even greater turnouts in the future.

Best Features:
Having more than 5 participants.

Creative Features:
