Healthy Weight Week - Wondai and Kingaroy
This week is Australia's Healthy Weight Week and to mark it, RHealth and the South Burnett Regional Council will be holding a series of Health Pit Stops across the region this week to raise awareness about healthy eating and cooking. Each Health Pit Stop will offer visitors the opportunity to get a free health check by a local Community Nurse; a cooking demo where you can taste-test a healthy recipe; and free information about all the different Healthy Communities programs that will be running in the South Burnett this year. Today there'll be two Pit Stops running: one outside the Wondai IGA in Mackenzie Street between 10:00am and 2:00pm; and the second at Kingaroy Shoppingworld from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. You can obtain a PDF flyer with times and locations for all this week's Health Pit Stops by clicking here.
