    Canada's Food Guide, which was updated a few years ago, is mentioned and used to influence our Balanced Plate Approach, but this course and dietitians offer so much more! If you are looking for professional development training on the NEW Food Guide, contact [email protected]. Canada’s Food Guide is a required resource for many professionals who are involved in food services such as long-term care and residential homes.
