Top international experts in fields spanning architecture, civil engineering, urban planning, health, exercise, nutrition, education and the design and marketing of playground toys and computer games will convene at McGill University in Montreal Nov. 5-7 to explore ways in which not just the eating habits but the play, learning habits and environments of our children are impacting childhood obesity worldwide.
The 2008 McGill Health Challenge Think Tank: Active Living and Energy Balance, is the second of a special two-year program on childhood obesity. The think tank and its satellite events will bring together a cross-section of the world's most innovative thinkers in health and business, agriculture, agri-food, architecture, transportation, civil engineering and urban planning.
