Manitoba School Nutrition Handbook

The Manitoba School Nutrition Handbook has been developed to help school communities:

» promote healthy eating, consistent with what is taught in the school curriculum,
» make the healthy choice the easy choice, and
» support students in establishing healthy eating habits for a lifetime.

This handbook is designed to help school communities develop nutrition policies and implement changes to promote healthier eating options. To complement the handbook you will find additional information on a broad range of topics and activities, including downloadable fact sheets and templates, and case studies to share Manitoba experiences and success stories.

The tools and resources can help schools work towards the healthy eating component of the Healthy Schools program.
