Choices 4 Health is the local arm of the OHHP project. In Halton, its success stems from the countless volunteers and partner organizations that quadruple the funding provided by the Ministry of Health Promotion through in-kind contributions of hours and resources. One such volunteer is Lynn Roblin, chair of Choices 4 Health. "Lynn's expertise and zeal for healthy living benefit our network immeasurably," says Tanya Rumble, Choices 4 Health co-ordinator.

Under Roblin's stewardship, the Healthy School Nutrition Environment workgroup was formed in 2004. With funding from Choices 4 Health, this group developed guidelines for schools to promote a healthy nutrition environment and provided funds to Halton elementary and secondary schools to implement healthy eating initiatives. "Funding from Choices 4 Health through the Ministry of Health Promotion allows us the opportunity to provide innovative programs in our community that help the people of Halton achieve optimum health through healthy eating, physical activity, good mental health and tobacco-free living," says Lynn.
