Food and healthy eating

Registered dietitians (Dietitians of Canada) are regulated health professionals who use their knowledge of food and healthy eating to promote health. Our team of registered dietitians offer a variety of food and healthy eating programs and services. This work is done in collaboration with a variety of partners such as schools, child service agencies, and community organizations.
