Canada: CPMA supports The Great Big Crunch

The Canadian Produce Marketing Association will be on Parliament Hill this coming Thursday to support The Great Big Crunch, an event to highlight the importance of childhood nutrition.

To promote The Great Big Crunch, politicians, supporters and local school children will be gathering on the steps of Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Thursday, March 9th at 10:45 am to show off their best crunching skills and support for healthy food choices for all.

All MPs will receive an apple to join in the fun courtesy of Algoma Orchards Ltd. On Thursday, Canadians from coast to coast to coast will be taking part in The Great Big Crunch, including school children who registered before crunch day online on their website.

Since 2008, close to one million crunches have been tallied as part of The Great Big Crunch. This year marks the event’s 10th anniversary. The Great Big Crunch is supported by the Coalition for Healthy School Food. The coalition is made up of more than 30 organizations across Canada, including FoodShare Toronto.
