INDEX TITLE: INTERNATIONAL NODIET DAY RESOURCES

  • Note that International NoDiet Day is an awareness activity in Stage 2.
    1999: On-line campaign Our initial goals for International No Diet Day have been met. We've maintained a presence over 6 years of promoting this special day to our facilitator network, the Canadian media and with prominent exposure on our website. Our current position is to simply let this groundwork percolate on its own as facilitators or media want to use the purposes of the day. Past campaigns are posted on the website and there is a section in your Teen Manual Guide for planning purposes. Penny Muir, our regular chat line host was also our INDD spokesperson last year. We've invited her to fulfiill this role again for '99 with a strong on-line presence. The regular Thursday chat meeting will have an INDD
    focus on May 6th.
