This manual provides resources and information on how to implement the Eat Smart!® Recreation Centre Program

Healthy eating, being smoke-free and avoidance of food borne illness are three of the most important lifestyle factors that help promote optimal health. These three factors are what Eat Smart!® is all about. The goal of Eat Smart!® is to contribute to the reduction of food-borne illness and chronic disease in Ontario.

This manual is intended to be a resource for public health practitioners implementing the Eat Smart!® Recreation Centre Program. Resources are also provided for recreation centres that want to achieve the Eat Smart!® Award of Excellence. Please read through the manual before starting.
