Dietitians of Canada is the national voice for 5,000 dietitians – the most trusted source of information on food and nutrition for Canadians. Every March, Dietitians of Canada launches Nutrition Month® to profile key nutrition issues with a focus on motivating and enabling Canadians to take action to improve their health.

Nutrition Month® is a time to become more aware of nutrition and to take action. This year’s theme “Making Wise Food Choices Wherever You Go” will reinforce the principles of Canada’s Guidelines for Healthy Eating and provide support for making wise food choices at the grocery store and when eating out.

For the second year in a row, Dietitians of Canada is pleased to have Campbell Company of Canada as an official sponsor of Nutrition Month.
