Each person who makes their way toward the Toldo Lancer Centre will now be doing so on the Moriarty Way as the newly opened walkway honours the late Dr. Richard Moriarty. 

It’s a fitting tribute to a man who was not only a trailblazer as an educator and researcher but also a champion of Canadian university sport who mentored and supported student-athletes at the University of Windsor for more than 70 years. 

Education and early intervention critical to eating disorder prevention

Education and awareness are key when it comes to preventing eating disorders. 

Each Feb. 1 to 7, eating disorder awareness week encourages Canadians to learn more about eating disorders, challenge weight and body stigma and become familiar with resources and services that can help those who are struggling. 

This year’s theme is “health doesn’t have a look,” challenging harmful beliefs that suggest being healthy means being thin.
