The Newfoundland and Labrador Sport Centre recognizes that health and wellness are important priorities of the province. As a provincial training facility, as well as a facility utilized by the community, we have an opportunity to create an environment that promotes and supports healthy active living:
We will do our best to:
- Support an environment that is welcoming to breastfeeding families.
- Maintain vending options to include healthier choices identified in Canada’s Food Guide.
- Ensure consistent advertising/messaging that aligns with health and wellness (e.g. eliminate the promotion of sugar-sweetened beverages).
- Encourage community groups and organizations to have food and beverage options from Canada’s Food Guide available during events.
- Promote nutrition month and other healthy eating initiatives.
- Partner and promote local community-based healthy eating initiatives and supports such as Eat Great and Participate.
- Choose green options when possible.
- Choose local options when possible.
- Ensure staff are aware and understand this policy.
