Nutrition Month and Traditional Food Day



Cooking from the Land and Sea

This year, Nutrition Month is celebrated under the theme Cooking from the Land and Sea, highlighting the importance of traditional foods in maintaining a healthy and balanced diet. Rich in nutrients and unprocessed, local and traditional foods have nourished Inuit for millennia. Traditional Food Day will take place on March 27, 2025.

Nutrition Month is a great opportunity to recognize the positive impact of consuming, sharing and enjoying delicious and nutritious foods for health and well-being.
