Donald Golob facilitated a series of sessions with representatives of the City of North Vancouver, the District of North Vancouver, the North Vancouver Recreation Commission, and the North Shore Neighbourhood House to develop a governance structure for the new John Braithwaite Community Centre.  The Centre is now open and the governance structure is in place.

Planning Session to Move School Nutrition Forward in British Columbia, BC Dairy Foundation & BC Ministry of Health

Donald Golob planned, facilitated, and wrote the summary report for a one-day planning session co-sponsored by the British Columbia Dairy Foundation and the British Columbia Ministry of Health to collaboratively discuss and determine how to improve school nutrition in the province.  Over 40 community nutritionists and other key experts (school trustees, parents, school administrators) came together to share ideas, build skills, and plan how to create health promoting schools in BC.

• Lay the groundwork for continued VCH regional CCFL Licensing Officer meetings and networking.
