Making the best of winter

Community screenings of 'That Sugar Film' are coming up.

The Southern Downs Regional Council is excited to co-ordinate the 10-week ‘Winter Is Coming To The Southern Downs’ health and well-being program from Monday, 12 June to Monday, 21 August.
The Winter Is Coming Campaign aims to support the whole community, of all ages, to be healthy and active for life, including good healthy food choices, general health and well-being and physical activity.
The program will kick off with the community screenings of ‘That Sugar Film’ starting Monday 12 June in Allora, followed by screenings in Stanthorpe (13 June), Warwick (14 June), Wallangarra (15 June), and Killarney (16 June).
‘That Sugar Film’ is one man’s journey to discover the bitter truth about sugar. Damon Gameau embarks on a unique experiment to document the effects of a high sugar diet on a healthy body, consuming only foods that are commonly perceived as ‘healthy’.
Through this entertaining and informative journey, Damon highlights some of the issues that plague the sugar industry, and where sugar lurks on supermarket shelves.
Tickets can be purchased from warwicktickets.com.au (Warwick, Allora and Killarney) or stanthorpetickets.com.au (Stanthorpe and Wallangarra).

The program is committed to inspiring and supporting the community in the areas of health, well-being and fitness. The co-ordinators also believe this is a great opportunity to showcase the health, well-being and fitness activities and organisations in the region.
