New head for Heart a

AFTER 18 YEARS, Betty Campbell is stepping down as
the Terrace and NW organizer for the Heart and Stroke
Foundation.

At age 76, she admits she’s a little over the mandatory
telirement age, but adds that her volunteer work has kept
her bealthy.

of the importance of making the job full time.

Walkinshaw is taking over an expanded territory from
Campbell. Travelling to small communities won't be any-
thing new for her — she just moved to Terrace from Fort
Rac, in the Northwest Territories, a town an hour north-
west of Yellowknife.

She was a community health nurse there, so is well-
qualified for her new job.

Walkinshaw plans to focus first on recruiting volunteers
in cach community and on developing Heart Smart pro-
grams in schools,

“Our big priority is to educate the kids,’? says Campbell.
“You need to start while they’re still impressionable.”’

Children spend too much time in front of the computer
and TV instead of exercising, and eat too much junk food,
says Walkinshaw. ‘‘Our goal is to establish a healthy life-
style and dietary habits,”

Walkinshaw has a personal reason for getting involved
