Paramedic Cassie Lambert signs up Frank and Helen Hortop for the Slim 'Til You Win Competition at the Get W.I.T.H. it! session Feb. 7.
The weight loss contest was started last year to promote heart healthy lifestyle choices including exercise and weight management.
The Renfrew County Paramedics were on hand to sign up and weigh in participants for the Renfrew County team.
Representatives from the University of Ottawa Heart Institute were available with information on healthy eating and weight loss strategies.
The HeartWise Exercise Facilitator from the Heart Institute conducted a survey of the Get W.I.T.H. It! participants to learn more about what people are looking for in their exercise programs.
It was a busy night.
Get W.I.T.H. It! continues to run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. in the halls of Arnprior District High School. There are now 300 people registered with 60 to 80 people out walking on each of the nights.
Come join the crowd - walk where it is safe, dry, warm and fun, urge organizers.
The Slim 'Til you Win Competition this year will be a year-long opportunity to help Renfrew County bid for the Slim Till You Win Cup. Registrants will weigh in again on Thursday, March 8 and then keep the momentum going until the New Year when the two counties will tally their results for the grand prize.
