Mr. Speaker, March is nutrition month and this year's theme is “Make nutrition come alive—it's all about you”.
This campaign, spearheaded by the dietitians of Canada, is aimed at helping consumers make healthy food choices that fit into their personal lifestyle.
In the Hamilton area including my riding a luncheon was held and the proceeds of this event went to the Hamilton community foundation school nourishment fund.
These nourishment programs are planned initiatives which make food available to school children in a safe, non-stigmatizing environment. These programs support healthy eating practices and help children maximize their learning potential.
Nutritionists have organized local events across Canada. They encourage all Canadians to participate, making nutrition come alive for themselves.
