Aboriginal LiveWell program celebrates success

"Evelyn Linklater is an Elder in her Saskatoon community, and she has diabetes. 'I am trying to live a healthy lifestyle and teach others to do the same,' says Linklater. 'The LWCC (LiveWell with Chronic Conditions program) is helping me to do this. I want to see my grandchildren grow up healthy and happy.' She is one of Saskatoon's Aboriginal peer leaders who shared their digital stories of living with chronic conditions like diabetes at a luncheon celebrating the group's achievements on October 30. They celebrated with more than 40 family members, friends and Health Region staff involved in the program. Linklater and six other peer leaders recently completed training in the LiveWell program" - Saskatoon Health Region
