We are privileged as health care providers to have the opportunity to spend as much quality time as we do with this remarkable and talented age group.
Our organization's goal is simple: We are dedicated to provide constant and continual community give-back events, contests, and awards that we hope will serve as an impetus to the youth in our communities to reach their greatest potentials and encourage them to donate some of their time and energies to make our communities better and in turn act as role models and mentors to other youth to do the same.
All community events, prizes, fundraising, and event costs will be donated by Dr. Aly Kanani, a local orthodontist in Surrey, Langley, and the Vancouver-area
LangleyCandyBuyBack.com is the official Langley City and
Langley Township Halloween Candy Buy Back Community Website
and belongs to the larger charity arm of
Langley
orthodontist Dr. Aly Kanani. With the rise in obesity
and diabetes among youth, the candy indulged during
Halloween times is often excessive and largely
unnecessary.
In order to minimize the negative impact on the diet and healthy lifestyles we are trying our local Langley youth to aspire towards, our organization will buy back for $1.00 per pound (10 pound limit per child) of their Halloween Candy. We are not implying that all candy is bad but it should be in moderation, and children should brush afterwards accordingly.
