Lauren Walker is the Implementation Manager for APPLE Schools, an
innovative health promotion initiative that impacts the lives of almost 30,000
Canadian children in vulnerable communities. Since joining the APPLE
Schools team, Lauren has guided the launch of a new pilot project that has
increased APPLE Schools’ reach to 13 more school communities.

Lauren’s background as an educator, health facilitator, and mentor has
allowed her to witness the difference that APPLE Schools can make in
students' healthy eating, physical activity and mental wellbeing habits. For
Lauren, being involved in a project that is backed by research and proven to
make sustainable changes is both fulfilling and inspiring.
