GB Public Health works to support access to safe, nutritious, appropriate, affordable food in our communities. Health Unit staff work together and with the community to:

  • Assess and report on the nutritional health of our communities.
  • Create policies, supportive environments, and programs to support healthy eating.
  • Engage with our communities to increase the intake of nutritious foods for the health of people and the planet.
  • Empower partners and communities to dismantle diet culture and support healthy relationships with food and bodies.
  • Lead and support members of the public and community partners to address household food insecurity and positive food systems.
