PEEL WOMEN IN ACTION (PWIA)

For the past eigth years MIAG has organized the most successful healthy life style and active living programs. In the year of 2009:

• Swim Dance and Exercise! What is more fun than that! Then get more education about your health and well-being. This is what MIAG offered through the Peel Women in Action program. Hundreds of women and children participated in swimming classes and fun swimming sessions. They learned swimming principles while they maintained their health and well-being by this enjoyable sport. It was run at Mississauga Valley Community Centre.
  
  
• The Dance for your Health program was opened to all family members from the Hispanic community. It became a platform to network; enhance community support while they enjoy this activity and the chronic disease prevention sessions.
  
  
• Exercise on African Beats program was another popular one. We ran it in Brampton in collaboration with Brampton Neighbourhood Community Services. Participants felt they own the program, enjoyed the moment, built their health awareness and maintained their identity.
  
  
  
  Thanks for the Healthy Living Peel for the financial support for this program.
