Championing Nutrition Policy Reform (Ottawa, October 22-23, 2008)

Join us in Ottawa on October 22-23, 2008 at the historic Fairmont Chateau Laurier Hotel, as health and food-policy experts, policymakers, and journalists from across Canada and around the world explore how to reform public health nutrition policy.

We’ll look at school foods, nutrition information on labels and menus, food taxes, marketing to children, reformulating foods to minimize added salt and harmful fats, and much more.
