The goal of the Healthy School Nutrition Environment initiative is to promote and support healthy eating for students by encouraging and fostering the development of a school environment that promotes and supports healthy eating habits, active lifestyle participation, positive role models, and engagement in the learning process.
This initiative attempts to help schools practice what they preach about healthy eating and to have these learnings translate into healthy eating behaviours. This program is attempting to have a positive influence on foods available in schools including nourishment, snack and lunch programs, foods sold in schools and fundraising.
In addition the program has a vision to encourage both school staff and parents to be positive role models for healthy eating and support the development of healthy eating environments at school.
