Hamilton Partners for Healthy Weights is a partnership of The City of Hamilton organizations and individuals who are committed to addressing obesity.

In December 2005, Hamilton Public Health Services held the first of three community forums with key stakeholders to discuss the development of a made- in- Hamilton obesity strategy. At the end of the third forum, key priorities were identified. Committees were formed to address the priorities.

Key Priorities

• Gather baseline data to help inform the strategy
• Develop a communication campaign to increase awareness about obesity and provide strategies to address it
• Advocate, influence, and develop policies that will support the strategy’s vision
• Engage business and other key stakeholders in the strategy because we all have an important role to play

Our Vision
