Health Minister Terry Lake highlighted the importance of CPR Awareness Month by taking part in a demonstration on basic CPR and how to use a defibrillator.

Obese and overweight children and their families in British Columbia are being offered more support with the launch of a new provincial initiative that encourages healthy and active lifestyles.

Healthy living is paying off for the community of Tumbler Ridge that wins a total of $60,000 towards building walking trails and six B.C. families that win vacations, as the overall winners of the Healthy Families BC Walking Challenge.

More patients and families have access to specialized heart care, closer to their homes, thanks to an innovative cardiac rehabilitation program that has officially opened in three Vancouver community centres.
