Nutrition at the heart of healthy living

Our nutrition mandate

We provide assistance and services aimed at supporting First Nations in their actions promoting the adoption of healthy eating habits. In addition, we encourage the regular consumption of products obtained through traditional activities, such as hunting, fishing, trapping or gathering, to achieve a nutritious and balanced diet.

Supporting communities and organizations

Our team offers personalized support corresponding to the nutritional needs of communities and organizations. We work with them on several levels, including strategic planning, staff training and project coordination. For example, we can provide our support to various food services by guiding them in setting up a food policy and developing menus.

Promoting healthy nutrition

We support communities and organizations in their projects related to better nutrition through various means such as:

• Developing nutrition skills among health workers.
• Developing promotional tools that are adapted for First Nations.
• Establishing nutrition programs in elementary schools that teach children to recognize healthy and nutritious foods, including traditional foods, and to develop their cooking skills.
