Eating Well

The health unit 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.
