Press Room

Fighting obesity: a collective struggle!

The mission of the Quebec Coalition on Weight-Related Problems (Weight Coalition) is to prevent obesity and weight-related problems. Together with its partners, it strives to create consensus and to demand laws, regulations and public policies geared to bringing about environmental changes that will foster sound eating habits, physical activity, and healthy social norms.

In Focus
