In April, Ontario put out a request for public input in building a Food Security Strategy for Ontario. In response, OHEA formed a committee to provide feedback. A special thank you is extended to committee members who volunteered their time and expertise on behalf of the organization - Cailin Whincop, P.H.Ec. & Co-Chair, Marie Traynor, P.H.Ec. & Co-Chair, Peggy O'Neil, P.H.Ec., & Joan Ttooulias, P.H.Ec. The committee also collected feedback via email from other PHEc's and ensured all voices of OHEA were heard. Feedback was submitted on May 31st, and we are waiting to hear back from the Ontario Government this summer about the collective feedback they received.

We are proud to be promoting food safety via our social media platforms in conjunction with The Canadian Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education (CPFCFSE). We would like to hear tips from our members and share them in order to communicate and educate consumers about food safe practices.
Please click here and scroll down the page to see some of the most recent contributions made to get an idea of tips that other people are sharing. We would like to have at least 3 tips each month from OHEA members to share, so please help us reach this goal! All you have to do is submit an original photo and a brief description of unique food safety tips you may have, or a brief description of what food safety means to you. If you have an idea but no photo let us know and we can help you out. If you have any questions, please contact Jason Eaton: jason@ohea.on.ca.
OHEA members were encouraged to bring feminine hygiene products to #OHEA2017 to help support Tampon Tuesday. We were very touched by the positive response and would like to thank all conference delegates for their generous donations.
On March 29th, OHEA President Cindy Hartman, P.H.Ec., delivered two large boxes full of feminine hygiene products to the London Food Bank on behalf of OHEA. OHEA would like to take this opportunity to thank our generous conference sponsors. Without their support #OHEA2017 would not have been possible.

OHEA member Pat Moynihan Morris, P.H.Ec., was at Cawthra Park Secondary School in Mississauga teaching Grade 12 students how to make a delicious turkey chili. Thanks to Ontario Turkey, these students are well on their way to achieving 6 by 16! (www.sixbysixteen.me). For more turkey recipes, please visit the Ontario Turkey website here.
