The Aboriginal Diabetes Prevention (ADP) Program, offered through APANO, is a community-based initiative focused on improving health and preventing diabetes among Indigenous peoples through education, awareness, and active living. The program emphasizes both health promotion and primary prevention, aiming to reduce the risk of diabetes by fostering healthy habits, increasing physical activity, and encouraging balanced nutrition. By raising awareness about the signs, symptoms, and prevention of diabetes, the ADP Program empowers individuals and families to make informed lifestyle choices that support long-term wellness.

Central to the program are its recreational and sport opportunities, which engage youth and community members in fun, active, and culturally inclusive activities. These opportunities not only help participants maintain physical health but also build community spirit and promote social connection. The ADP Program offers a wide range of activities, including a community garden, where participants can learn about healthy eating and traditional food practices, as well as a women’s fitness program that supports strength, confidence, and self-care.
