Dietitians are key in helping Canadians Unlock the Potential of Food this Nutrition Month
March is Nutrition Month and this year builds on the 2018 campaign that saw dietitians help Canadians Unlock the Potential of Food, highlighting how food can not only nourish you, but also fuel active lives, inspire children, help to heal, prevent chronic diseases – and most importantly – bring people together. For 2019, Nutrition Month will put the focus on the important role dietitians play when it comes to food and nutrition.
Nutrition at the CSCE
The dietitians at the CSCE offer free individual consultations in nutrition and provide personalized advice on healthy eating for gradual and sustainable changes in eating habits and behaviours. The dietitians also carry out health promotion activities aimed at improving or maintaining the health of individuals and the general population. In addition they encourage healthy eating habits while respecting each person’s needs and lifestyle.

Official Language Minority Communities in Ontario:
Understanding the Lived Experiences of Francophone Patients and their Nursing Care Providers
You are invited to participate in an interview for a study regarding the experience of registered nurses, nursing students and Francophone patients with respect to the services and health care provided to French-speaking official language minority communities in Ontario. We are looking for French-speaking patients who have sought health care in Ontario.
We want to speak to Francophone or bilingual residents of Ontario who would prefer to receive French language health care services in Ontario. Participants will be selected on a first come, first served basis. Your participation will consist of taking part in an interview, expected to be about one (1) hour in length. The interview may take place in person, over the phone, or by teleconference. The interview may be held in French or in English, whichever you prefer.
The interview will be guided by a list of questions and discussion items. You may skip any question that you do not want to answer. Participation in this study is strictly voluntary. This study will allow for greater understanding of the realities of health care provision to French-speaking minority patient populations in Ontario, looking at the perspectives of registered nurses, nursing students, and Francophone patients.
This project has received Research Ethics Board (REB) approval from the University of Ottawa. If you have any questions or require more information about the study, please do not hesitate to contact the primary investigator, Mwali Muray (mmura090@uottawa.ca), or her research supervisor, Dr. Julie Chartrand (julie.chartrand@uottawa.ca) and Dr. Amélie Perron (amelie.perron@uottawa.ca).
Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
