The Junior League of Calgary partners with Highbanks Society to implement a program to help young mothers learn about “Healthy and Active Living” through the practice of good nutrition and physical activity. These moms live at Highbanks, which provides a safe, stable and affordable place for them to stay while they complete their educations and outline plans for their specific education, career and personal goals.
The theme at the November session was “One Dish Meal.” The moms made Spanish Chicken and Rice, Strawberry and Chevre Salad, and enjoyed the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares for dessert that Natalie Wynn-Dempsey had prebaked. The meal was delicious and any leftovers were taken home by the moms. We presented three main topics at this session: “One Dish Meal”, “Why We Need Iron”, and “Eating Out Smarts.” The gifts for this session were a glass storage container with lid plus a Safeway Gift card for use during the upcoming holidays.
Thank you to JLC members Lynne Christensen, Donna Fan, Dani Flowerday, Deb Vanderberg and Natalie Wynn-Dempsey for helping with this session.
The five future MUM sessions scheduled for this program year will continue to be delivered at the newly remodelled kitchen at Highbanks Society.
