On behalf of the BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services Health Literacy team, we would like to acknowledge the contributions of the Balanced View Steering and Advisory Committees. We would also like to thank all of the members of the Promoting Healthy Weights Working Group, which acted as an external reference group throughout the planning and development process. The success of this project would not have been possible without ongoing contributions from these committee members over the past three years. Their experience, expertise and overall commitment to the project have been invaluable.
