Agenda
Food for Health
Pier 21 will also host Food for Health, a bilingual exhibition from the Canada Agriculture Museum, which looks at concerns and questions many Canadians have about the role food plays in ensuring good health.
Food for Health combines hands-on interactive components, multimedia technology, historical artifacts and graphics to showcase Canadian initiatives designed to ensure that our food is as safe as possible. Food for Health can also be viewed online at www.foodforhealth.ca.
Food for Health is presented by the Canada Agriculture Museum and by the Canadian Institute of Health Research, in partnership with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Health Canada and the Canadian Partnership of Consumer Food Safety Education.
Special educational and public programming including workshops, events and family fun weekends will accompany both summer exhibitions. Both exhibitions will be on display in the Ralph and Rose Chiodo Harbourside Gallery.
