I love to Cook and Play is a community-based program for children and youth aged six to twelve that supports the implementation of Ottawa Public Health’s Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) guidelines. The program manual will enable program leaders to teach children how to prepare simple, healthy, low-cost meals and snacks and to emphasize the importance of daily physical activity. The manual includes HEAL information, learning topics, hands-on activities, healthy recipes, games and additional resources to support programming.
