Please see the attachment below for a great opportunity for students to be a leader in an advocacy campaign for children’s health.

Are you passionate about health? Do you want to be part of a movement in Canada working towards restricting harmful food and beverage marketing to children?

In 2016, the Minister of Health launched a Healthy Eating Strategy as part of the Government’s vision for a healthy Canada that included restricting the commercial marketing of unhealthy food and beverages to children. In 2021, the Minister of Health’s Mandate letter included supporting restrictions on commercial marketing of unhealthy food and beverages to children. However, this commitment has yet to be fulfilled.
