Requirement Details

Description of Work:

The new Canada’s Food Guide, launched in 2019, was developed as a responsive website, with online tools and resources tailored to a variety of audiences. The new Food Guide emphasizes the importance of food skills and the food environment. Health Canada continues to add new resources, recipes, tools and information to help Canadians apply dietary guidance in their daily lives.

In order to instill life-long healthy eating habits among youth, teens and young adults are target audiences for Canada’s Food Guide. Engaging youth through their peers will help amplify healthy eating messages among young Canadians and will provide Health Canada the opportunity to develop relevant and meaningful approaches and resources for this audience.

This request for proposal is to create and manage two groups of young Canadians (teens and young adults) to engage their peers on Canada’s Food Guide and provide advice on Health Canada’s healthy eating educational and awareness activities. Tasks supported through this contract include: leading a selection process and screening applications; managing daily logistics and communications with youth members; providing capacity building for youth; facilitating virtual workshops; and reporting on activities and results.
