Healthy Eating at Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre
In 2009, Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre received a provincial grant to improve the healthy eating choices it has available. The goal is to have all food and beverages offered at Harry Jerome meet the Nutritional Guidelines for Vending Machines in BC Public Buildings (May 2007) adopted from the ActNow BC Guidelines for BC Schools. (Visit www.brandnamefoodlist.ca for the complete set of guidelines and guideline approved products).
Harry Jerome is piloting the Play Well Eat Well Project to offer healthier choices in all areas where food and beverages are provided or sold including vending machines, concessions, sports programs, facility hosted birthday parties, fund raisers, and staff meetings. The vending machines will offer a larger selection of healthy choices such as milk, bottled water, diet pop, 100% fruit juices, baked chips, trail mix, and granola bars.
The Incredible Muffin Company concession at Harry Jerome which is operated by North Shore ConneXions has begun to offer more choices in accordance with the guidelines. They will continue to sell healthy beverages such as coffee, tea, water,100% fruit juices, and hot chocolate prepared with milk. Their new and improved menu will provide lunch items that are high in nutrients, and low in fat, sodium, and added sugars.
