Introduction and Overview of Project

The Nutrition Resource Centre is collaborating with the Greenbelt Fund on a research project in partnership with the Food Innovation & Research Studio (FIRSt) at George Brown College (GBC) and the Helderleigh Foundation.  The purpose is to gain an understanding of local food awareness, utilization and food literacy in meal and snack programs targeted to young children in Ontario. 

This survey is intended to be completed by administrators or staff (e.g. chef/cook/meal preparer/educator) of child care programs (including before and after school) and coordinators, staff, or volunteers of student nutrition programs at the local level.  This survey will ask a number of questions to understand the situation in your program with respect to local food and food literacy. 

There is no obligation to participate and not participating will have no consequences for you.  If you do participate, there will be no collection of any personal or organizational data or information.  Your responses will be shared in aggregate form and your comments will not be attributed back to you or your organization.  Synthesized results will be shared with the Greenbelt Fund and partners and disseminated through a report to various stakeholders interested in children’s food and nutrition.  This online survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes. 

The survey will close December 14th at 11:59pm EST.

If you choose to complete the survey please answer the questions to the best of your knowledge.
