Establishing Healthy Eating Environments: Case Studies and Ask the Experts – Part II
In this presentation we continue the discussion and provide more opportunities to profile healthy eating initiatives underway in Canada’s recreation sector.
The Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA), in collaboration with Health Canada, examined opportunities to create a culture change in the recreation sector that recognizes and supports the establishment of healthy food environments. Check out some of the latest news, updates, and resources on our work below.
Municipal recreation providers, and their partners, were invited to get involved by (1) reviewing and providing feedback on resources developed by Health Canada to support healthy eating; (2) sharing stories about how their recreation centre and/or facilities are creating healthy food environments; and (3) participating in three online learning sessions.
In the next several months, we will be adding the updated resources to the CPRA website. We invite you to use them to create your own culture of change related to healthy eating environments.
Learning from others is a great way to start and/or build your own healthy eating initiative. Three case studies outline the journey to provide healthier food choices including the successes, challenges, and the motivation to keep planning.

We have created a short inventory of five initiatives that support healthy eating in the recreation sector as well as a number of resources that you can reference or re-create in your own community.
