Feed our Sport!

A healthy diet helps to have good health and have energy for sport. The food choices people make in places where they move and play are influenced by their environment. Feed our Sport is an information, awareness and promotion campaign about the importance of healthy eating for sport performance and health as well as the impact of the environment on food choices. In order to promote and share this messaging and raise awareness among the broadest audience possible, four 30-second videos were created featuring students and community members in the Acadian Peninsula, in collaboration with key health and wellness stakeholders.
