Would you like assistance to implement the Alberta Nutrition Guidelines for Children and Youth in your recreation facility?  Would you like ideas about how to offer healthier foods without losing revenue?
Researchers at the University of Alberta are studying how to best support recreational facilities in using the Alberta Nutrition Guidelines for Children and Youth. Recreational facilities that are not using the Alberta Nutrition Guidelines for Children and Youth are all eligible to participate.  If you are selected to participate in the six month study researchers will assist you with implementing the guidelines in your facility.  They will also visit your facility to interview managers and staff, and study food sales and the food environment before, during, and after the study.  Participation in the study is completely confidential.  The facility and individual participants will never be identified.
