The mission of the Student Nutrition Access Program (SNAP) is to provide support on the nutrition, health and wellness needs of George Brown College students to help them succeed academically. We educate students on:
- Using the Canada’s Food Guide (CFG) to eat well and live well
- How to read nutrition labels
- How to find credible information and resources on vitamins and minerals
- Techniques for de-stressing the mind and body through healthy eating
- Making healthy choices by presenting options, eating recommended portions of fruits and vegetables, providing strategies to well-being by making small adjustments to daily eating habits, and so on
In addition, we provide resources, such as information on food banks, government and social programs, mental health, employment support, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), and income tax-related inquiries. We also provide assistance with booking appointments for the Student Financial Legal Services.
