News and Highlights

Eat Smart online toolkits for the School and Workplace Program are now available on the 'Information for Health Unit' side of the Eat Smart! websites. These toolkits replace the old Eat Smart! manuals. The online format of these new toolkits make them more interactive. Health units are able to download the supplementary materials directly to their computers in workable documents.

Please view the recently uploaded Report on the evaluation of the EatSmart! Recreation Centres' Pilot Project.

NOTE: This report is a very large PDF (over 8MB) and can take several minutes to download.

Congratulations to Sophia Yang, a grade 8 student at Cummer Valley Middle School in Toronto. Sophia is the winner of Toronto Public Health's 2008 Eat Smart! School Cafeteria Program Poster Contest. Sophia's poster promotes the key phrase, "Eat Smart! Feel Better. The Choice is Yours." in a colourful, appealing and original manner against a backdrop of the rainbow design used in Canada's Food Guide.
