It’s official – Front-of-package nutrition labels are coming to Canada. The new mandatory label will appear on food and beverages that are high in sodium, sugars or saturated fat and will help Canadians to make healthier choices.

For World Bike Day and beyond, let's all do our part to make biking, or any form of active travel, a habit, whether we are running errands, heading to work, or meeting up with friends! (2/2)

Happy World Bicycle Day! 🚲

Active travel such as biking has been found to be linked to more positive mental health, reduced pollution emissions, and increased support for local businesses as bikers are more likely to stop and shop! (1/2)

Today is the day!! It is ABCDay (Anything But a Car Day)!

I recently switched up my commute to #yegdt so that I could test out the new #yegbike infrastructure in AB Ave.

Join me on this part of my commute home and see 4 different forms of infra. Also...has this route been given a quirky name yet? Any suggestions? #yegbike #WardMétis🧵

#cdnparl is waiting for overdue mandatory report on the Tobacco and Vaping Act. The law sorely needs an overhaul to redress the youth vaping epidemic it created and to achieve the 5 by 35 goal on tobacco reduction. Protection delayed is protection denied. https://t.co/l6GU81F6ed
