The project will be carried out entirely on Internet in a simple, secure and confidential way, in the desired language (English or French). In return, participants receive a personalized food assessment and are eligible to periodic draws. First Nations are invited to participate in large numbers to have access to unpublished food data in their communities, number of participants permitting. We need your help to promote this information in First Nations communities. If you have any questions, please send an email at\u00a0info@nutriquebec.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
