The Huron County Health Unit has attained a gold designation in the Water Does Wonders provincial promotion.
The health unit removed its pop machine and ensured water is available when beverages are served at meetings.
Senior health promoter Laura Dekroon says too much sugar from sweetened drinks isn't good for anyone's health.

The Healthy Kids Community Challenge Huron Facebook page is offering prizes for people who enter a picture of their family enjoying water.
“Pop, fruit punch, energy drinks, sports drinks and many other drinks have a lot of sugar. Water is a much better choice for hydration and health,” says Dekroon.
