Halton's Health Department first in the region to be Baby Friendly

On Tuesday, May 4, 2010, Halton Regional Chair, Gary Carr accepted an official plaque from the Breastfeeding Committee of Canada (BCC), designating the Halton Region Health Department (HRHD) as Baby Friendly—the first health organization in the region and the fourth health unit in Ontario to receive this status.

“As Chair of the Board of Health, I’m proud that the Health Department continues to be leaders in the community promoting better health for all of our residents, including the very youngest,” said Chair Carr. “The Baby Friendly Initiative puts the health of new mothers and babies first by ensuring the education and support they need are in place. We can now help other health organizations in Halton do the same.”

Laura Prodanyk, past chair of the Ontario Breastfeeding Committee (OBC) and representative of the BCC, formally recognized the efforts of the department, “Receiving Baby Friendly status is a significant achievement for any health organization,” she said. “We have been impressed by the Region’s supportive environment and their relationship with other community organizations. Staff knowledge is also excellent, and we saw firsthand how parents in the community actually incorporated what the staff taught them. It’s a great step forward in the protection and promotion of breastfeeding as the norm in Halton.”

The three-day intensive assessment of the department included interviews with 14 staff and 21 moms. The two assessors also attended two prenatal classes and two Halton Prenatal Nutrition Program sessions to assess how well the department is putting their breastfeeding policies and practices into place. They also reviewed websites and curriculum, and as a final step, confirmed their findings with the five other lead assessors for Canada before presenting their report. The HRHD successfully completed the accreditation process on December 17, 2009, meeting a key priority identified by Council for last year.

For more information about the Baby Friendly Initiative, and the steps required to achieve designation, visit the OBC’s website. For more information about how the HRHD is working with other community health organizations as part of the Halton Baby Friendly Coalition, visit www.babyfriendlyhalton.ca, or call the Region at 311 or 905-825-6000.

The Regional Municipality of Halton serves more than 450,000 residents in the City of Burlington, the Town of Halton Hills, the Town of Milton, and the Town of Oakville. Halton Region is committed to meeting the needs of its residents through the delivery of cost-effective, quality programs and services, including water and wastewater; Regional roads and planning; emergency medical services; waste management; public health; Ontario Works (formerly social assistance); children’s and seniors’ services; social/non-profit housing; heritage programs; emergency management and economic development.

Motivation Fitness

Motivation Fitness
Why Choose THIS Bootcamp over all the others?If you are looking to tone up and lose weight, you have sooo many options available to you. The idea of a ”bootcamp” is to work with a Personal Trainer at a fraction of the cost, and to have someone to motivate you to meet your goals!I have instructed for a couple of the high profile Bootcamp companies. I found many of them put too many into a class.I am a Personal Trainer. My passion is to get to know my clients strengths and weaknesses and help them achieve their goals. When I was handed a class of 25 I rarely had the opportunity to get to know the names of my participants let alone get to know their individual goals.That was when I decided to start my own Bootcamp. A bootcamp that could deliver tougher and more advanced drills because the Trainer has 12 or less in a class.

So…… Motivation Fitness offers you:
Lower class numbers for more individual attention
More advanced drills delivered in a safer environment
More attention to your needs and goals
Certified Insured Fitness Professionals
the same (or less) than you would pay elsewhere

What Programs are offered?
Bootcamp
The class is one hour long and you attend twice per week. The structure incorporates dynamic conditioning (plyometrics, cardio, agility drills etc) and resistance in the form of squats, lunges, pushups. We try to make it as fun as possible using drills and obstacle courses. Part of the motivation is from your Trainer and the other part is from your peers.

Stroller Fit
This program is structured to give parents a good workout with a baby and stroller in tow! We take the bootcamp elements and format them into a stroller friendly program. So instead of drills we use the paths and sidewalks to get our workout. We keep the class moving as much as possible so that by the end of the hour the baby thinks he or she just enjoyed an hour long walk in the fresh air. Of course we recite some nursery rhymes and children’s songs during the workout too to help keep the little ones enjoying every minute.

Bridal Bootcamp/Private Bootcamp
We also offer private programs for those with upcoming events such as weddings, proms, reunions or just for groups of friends that want to get in shape together. There is nothing better than having the support of family and friends while getting healthy and fit side by side!

Where are the Programs Offered and How Can I Join?

Currently we are running Bootcamps in Oakville, Burlington, Milton and starting soon we have Hamilton, Ancaster, Cambridge, Guelph.

Stroller Fit is currently running in Oakville, Burlington, and soon in Milton, Hamilton, Ancaster, Cambridge, Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo.

Spa Sisters - line of bath & body products

Spa Sisters
Not your typical ‘green’ line of bath & body products, we design a luxury line of oh-so-pretty products that are made with pure and natural ingredients. From luxurious soufflé scrubs, lip butters, whipped body meringues to cocoa butter tub truffles, we’ve got something for everyone, from the hippest mamas to the youngest babes. We carefully select fair trade ingredients and whip up batches of these delectable little treats - all by hand! We don't think you should have to sacrifice style just to be 'green', so you'll notice that our products are hip and swanky looking, but still great for your skin and our environment!

And of course, all our products are:
SLS and SLES free
Paraben free
FDC colour/artificial dye free
Petroleum product free
Not tested on animals

Knowing that what you put on your body is easily absorbed through the skin – the body’s largest organ – it only makes sense to know exactly what you’re using, especially on your babes. Our baby line is super gentle and made with pure and simple ingredients that are 100% natural & organic.

Want some? There are a few ways to get your hands (and body!) on Spa Sisters products. You can order online at http://www.spasisters.ca/ or you can invite a few friends over for a girls’ night and indulge in a spa party. To celebrate moms and all that you do, order online during the month of May and save 10% using the promo code MOM when you checkout.

Oakville Moms Review:
I feel that the sisters from Spa Sisters spoiled me when they sent their products for me to try out. It felt like the Spa came to my home! Each of their products are beautifully packaged and presented. Having learned so much the last couple of years from being a mom, I am so aware of product ingredients, especially when it comes to products for my children. I am all for eco-friendly and green products and this is something that the Spa Sisters deliver.

I am now addicted to the pomegranate berry body meringue. I absolutely love the scent and feel of this body meringue. It is so smooth and easily absorbs well. Whether you have dry skin or not, you can't go wrong with the body meringue.

The organic shea butter is a great product if you or your child suffer from eczema, minor irritations and dry skin. It is a rich moisturizer containing pure jojoba oil and vitamin e. I use this for my knees and elbows.

The bum balm is a must have for your babies bottom. This product has 100% natural ingredients and contains no zinc.It's gentle and effective in relieving your babies bum rashes. Spa Sisters also make their own artisan soap by hand.

I had a chance to try out the rosemary mint artisan soap. I love the scent and it is more refreshing than the common soap.

My kids had a great time making bubbles with the mandarin bubble bath. It has a yummy scent and it's biodegradable. This product doesn't have any SLS, SLES, synthetic fragrances or artificial colours. It is a great option to consider if your little one has sensitive skin.

Overall I am very impressed with Spa Sisters products. They create a line of spa products that are 100% natural and organic ingredients, suitable for anyone in your family. Check out their site to find out what products meet your needs. You can win one of two certificates from Spa Sisters this month by entering our contest. more>>
