This program uses the Indigenous medicine wheel as a model to focus on the four directions for healthy eating. We start with the east direction that focuses on nutrition education, the south direction focuses on food preparation and safety, the west direction focuses on cooking and recipes, and the north direction focuses on food preservation.
This program will provide training courses as well as educational videos & resources related to the four topic areas.
