The End Of Eat Smart!

Last week I was informed that our local health unit the HKPR Health Unit was discontinuing its support for Eat Smart citing lack of funding from the province of Ontario. The program was created to recognize restaurants that offered a smoke free, healthy food choices environment. The Woodlawn Inn was a recipient since the program launched in Northumberland about eight years ago. We will continue to offer our guests low-fat, reduced-calorie delicious menu options like we have in the past an we welcome the return of Eat Smart or any other program with similar objectives.

We have won the eat smart award again this year! Eat Smart! is Ontario’s Healthy Restaurant Program www.eatsmart.web.net which recognizes smoke-free restaurants for achievement of high standards in safe food handling and nutrition. Restaurants in Northumberland County have been invited to participate annually since the year 2001 and the program has grown consistently since that time. Winners are announced in May, and a promotional campaign follows. Activities include advertisements in local papers, radio and phone books, visibility at community events, and distribution of posters and dining guides throughout the county.
