Even though March is traditionally recognized as Nutrition Month, the department feels that good nutrition needs to be promoted throughout the year. We have, therefore, produced a special 10th anniversary nutrition calendar. This is displayed in the foyer of the Legislative Assembly all of this week.
Mr. Speaker and honourable Members, the resource kits on display have been provided to schools, health centres and other organizations charged with the responsibility to encourage and influence positive eating habits in children.
The kits include a colourful nutrition calendar, nutrition tips and facts, a resource booklet, and the "Grab a bite that's right!" fridge magnets. The magnets I am circulating to the honourable Members -- I think you should all have them by now -- represent the four food groups from the Northwest Territories food guide. Stickers in most of the northern languages were included in the kits, and those can be added to the calendar for the title, days of the week and months of the year, as needed.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to invite all Members of the Assembly, as well as visitors, to view the display out here in our lobby. Thank you.
