Update: TBDHU- Children Involved in Handling Food in Child Care
We have received some exciting news that programs may once again allow children to assist in preparing and handling food!
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit wishes to remind programs to adhere to the Guidelines for Food Handling for Children Please share this resource with your colleagues!
We know that our programs have missed these engaging opportunities for children and how important food preparation can be for fostering the Four Foundations! We can’t wait to hear about your cooking adventures.
For any further questions, feel free to reach out to the Public Health Inspector, whose phone number can be found at the bottom of the link to the guidelines document.
Bingo has never been so GROOVY!
If you have any questions about this FUN and EXCITING event please email us at early.years@tbdssab.ca. You can find the form HERE to register!
So go put on your boogie shoes and we will catch you on the flip side on May 26th!!!
