Educators and caregivers asked our team how to address, teach, and use Canada’s Food Guide. So we got to work. We collaborated with educators, caregivers, health professionals, and academics to translate Canada’s Food Guide into a single meal exploration and nutrition education tool – the Lunch Box Guide!
This guide is designed to work wherever learning happens, whether in the classroom or at home.
One resource includes one teacher guide and 35 student guides. If you need more than the max order number, contact us at AlbertaNutrition@dfc-plc.ca.
