CHCP & EPL + The Kitchen

The Change Health Community Program (CHCP) is a program based out of the University of Alberta Department of Family Medicine. It is a preventative, holistic, community-based program that helps families re-learn healthy living together. Each week consists of a ~1-hour cooking class with a registered dietitian followed by a ~ 45-minute mental health, social connection, nutrition or physical activity workshop. For Fall 2026, we are continuing our partnership with the Edmonton Public Library to host this program with the support of the Edmonton Community Foundation. It is open to the public and family can include parents, grandparents, caregivers etc. Each session is limited to 7-12 families (depending on the recipe) and a $15 fee/station is required for registration. Each station can have a maximum of 2 adults + 2 children or 2-3 adults. In Session 2, we will make Gingerbread Lentil Pancakes and then have a workshop on 'Communication Across Childhood/Adolescence' with psychologist Dr. Jesse McElheran! All tickets are non-refundable. If this registration link is closed, the class is full. Please email chcp@ualberta.ca if you have questions.
