I watched all three vignettes and found them very useful. I am a Coordinator for School Nutrition Programs in Chatham-Kent, Ontario.
Excellent work on this site. I will be forwarding it to all of Community Partnership Members and my 47 programs as well as my Health Unit Dietitian.

I watched all three also and found them very informative and useful. I would like our parent council and our school board to review them and try implementing some of these ideas! Thanks–starting from scratch doesn’t have to happen, you’ve started for us!!! Thanks
