The Great Big Crunch - March 9
Nourish invites Nova Scotians to join the Great Big Crunch and learn about healthy eating through the apple’s journey from seed, to harvest, to market, to table (and around again)! Participate virtually with others across Canada on March 9, or consider organizing your own local Great Big Crunch event any time in the month of March. If you have questions about organizing a Great Big Crunch event in your area, please reach out to info@nourishns.ca.
Show politicians that it’s time to #SpeakUp4SchoolFood by inviting them to CRUNCH for a healthy, pan-Canadian School Food Program!
