Schools, Community and Workplace

Healthy eating contributes to overall health and well-being.  More and more people are interested in choosing healthier food – at home, in the community, and in the workplace. Workplaces that promote healthy food choices help to create and maintain healthy people and healthy communities.

Providing healthy choices does not have to be complicated.  Focus on one or two changes at a time.  Take a look at what you currently offer at meetings and events, and follow these guidelines for healthy choices:

• Choose foods that are included in Canada’s Food Guide.
• Offer reasonable sized portions.
• Limit food and beverages high in calories, fat, sugar, or salt.
