Each year, a team of York Region health professionals award York Region's top workplace cafeterias for safe and healthy choices and smoke-free environments.  

Changes to the Eat Smart! Program in 2012:
Under direction from the Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport and the Nutrition Resource Centre, the Eat Smart! Healthy School Program will be on hiatus for the 2011/2012 school year.

This break will enable schools to focus on implementing the mandatory School and Food Beverage Policy (P/PM 150). To build further support for P/PM 150, consider implementing awareness-raising and skill-building activities related to nutrition and healthy eating through York Region and Community Health Services Healthy Secondary School Nutrition program.

Changes to the Eat Smart! Program in 2010:
Under direction from the Ministry of Health Promotion and the Nutrition Resource Centre, the Eat Smart! Ontario's Healthy Restaurant Program will discontinue at the end of 2009. Rather, beginning in 2010, the program will focus exclusively on school and workplace cafeterias.

York Region has been a proud participant of the Eat Smart! resturant program for over 14 years. Over this time, the program has encouraged safe food handling, healthy food choices and 100% smoke-free environments in eating establishments across York Region. York Region Community and Health Services would like to thank you for your support of Eat Smart! Ontario's Healthy Restaurant Program.
