$1.5 million for this?  http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/healthykids/docs/hkcc_guidelines.pdf  We already have a plethora of healthy lifestyle focused programs across Ontario...

How about investing in better income security so families living in poverty can afford to buy their kids food, a decent pair of running shoes, and a comfortable bed...

********************************************************
Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural.
It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.
And overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity.
It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life.
While poverty persists, there is no true freedom.
Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)
