Students in Canadore’s School of Sport and Recreation are raising awareness on a variety of health issues faced by college students today (Tuesday).

They’re taking part in the 7th annual student health fair, which runs from 9:30 am to 12 noon in the front lobby of Canadore’s College Drive Campus.

There will be displays on stress management and coping mechanisms, alcohol prevention, healthy eating and the benefits of pet therapy.

Research is involved in their work.

“The topic of health and well-being can be so very confusing,” said Michelle Cundari, professor in Canadore’s School of Sport and Recreation. “Researching health is also a very difficult task, seeing as there are so many prevalent opinions and these assumptions also change over time. This is an amazing exercise to build critical thinking in our students, and I’m really proud of their work.”

Officials encourage those attending the health fair to complete a passport to win healthy living prizes.
