March is Nutrition Month
A time to celebrate food!
Every March, dietitians across Canada hold various events to highlight nutrition as a key component of health, motivate Canadians to make informed food choices to improve their health, and profile dietitians as the best source of reliable nutrition information.
This year, the dietitians at the Porcupine Health Unit want to help you to shop smarter. Come out to a FREE interactive Grocery Store Tour and learn some helpful tips for label reading and making healthier choices. A free reusable grocery bag will be provided to all participants.
