The Children's Fitness Tax CreditEat Well and Be Active ToolkitThe Eat Well and Be Active Educational Toolkit  is a joint project between Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada. The Toolkit is designed to help health and education specialists teach children and adults about healthy eating and physical activity, and to encourage them to take action to maintain and improve their health. It includes a poster and downloadable activity plans and healthy eating and physical activity tips.  The Nutrition Facts Education CampaignThe Government of Canada and Food & Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC) are working together on the Nutrition Facts Education Campaign. This campaign gives Canadians the information they need to make informed food choices to maintain and improve their health. The multi-media campaign helps consumers understand and use the information on the Nutrition Facts table, and in particular, the % Daily Value. Using the % Daily Value is a quick way for consumers to know if a packaged food contains a little or a lot of a nutrient. This helps Canadians make healthy food choices for themselves and their families.
