Yukon nutrition framework

The Yukon Nutrition Framework aims to continue to build and expand nutrition services with focus given to healthy eating, food security, chronic health conditions and special populations. [...] It is crucial for healthy growth and aging, effective functioning of the body, and protection from illness and infection, and essential for children’s development. [...] It aims to protect, promote and restore the well-being of Yukoners in harmony with their living environments and facilitate access to quality health programs and services. [...] The creation of supportive environments, through policies and guidelines, resources, and programming, can improve knowledge of healthy eating and food preparation, and opportunities to choose healthy food options. [...] The school environment provides us with a great opportunity to harness the energy and enthusiasm of students, help kids soak up new information and keep them engaged in finding healthy ways to eat and quench their thirst.” 10 YUKON NUTRITION FRAMEWORK Signs of Success….
