Description

The Government of Alberta is committed to promoting healthy eating and healthy weights for children and youth in Alberta. Because many meals and snacks are consumed outside the home, it is important to ensure that children and youth are able to access healthy food choices wherever they go. Many of these eating occasions will occur in childcare facilities, schools, recreational facilities and community centres. The goal of these guidelines is to equip facilities and organizations with the tools they need to provide healthy food choices in childcare settings, schools, in recreation centres, at special events, and in the community at large.
