“Do it Right at Lunch” was a slogan used for Novia Scotia’s Nutrition Week in 1981. March is now Canada’s annual Nutrition Month, which promotes the health and learning of the children and youth.

Nutrition Month originally began in the 1970’s as Nutrition Week in local communities, however, in 1981, these efforts were collaborated to create the first National Nutrition Week across Canada. By the end of the decade, the promotion became Nutrition Month. Continuiung each year, Dietitians of Canada chose the theme based on the current environment and input from members, such as the 1994 campaign “Nourish our Children’s future” or 2012’s “Get the real deal for your meal.”
