Thrifty Foods provides leadership training to youth program leaders

Thrifty Foods, in partnership with Active Comox Valley, is providing leadership training to youth program leaders who will deliver the Thrifty Foods Young Chef camp, or any other youth program.

Thrifty Foods has sponsored these camps, delivered by Active Comox Valley, for youth aged nine to 12 and they have been a huge success.

This free training is open to youth program leaders as the learning can be incorporated into other community youth programs.

The fun and interactive three-hour session will debunk common nutrition myths and provide some creative ideas on how to work with kids and food, including healthy snack demos, and fun food and physical activity facts. These sessions will be delivered by registered dietitians from Thrifty Foods and the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

The session will take place March 8 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Courtenay Recreation’s Lewis Centre. There is no cost, however space is limited to youth leaders.

Register by March 2 by calling the Lewis Centre at 250-338-5371.
