“But I want to work in agriculture AND food & nutrition AND environment fields”. As I deliberated the next step in my career these were the words that ran through my head over and over...then I stumbled upon aquaponics. OHEA is pleased to welcome another five new PHEcs this fall! You can read about them below! Tess is a registered dietitian who just finished her MSc in Food and Nutrition at Brescia University College (BUC). She has worked in various health care fields as dietitian including: long-term care, outpatient oncology, private practice, home care and most recently acute stroke care. She is currently an instructor at BUC for nutrition courses for first year undergraduates as well as third and fourth year nutrition students. She has a passion for how culture shapes our understanding of health and eating, as well as the importance of commensality as a foundation for health. She is very excited to be a part of the PHEc family! By: Benish Syed, P.H.Ec.
Fall is officially here and that means you’ll be smelling cinnamon at every café and coffee shop. Cinnamon is a pantry essential in many households because of its warm smell, taste, and versatility. Cinnamon can be added to everything from lattes to cakes, and even curries! But did you know that cinnamon also has several health benefits? Read on to find out more about cinnamon as well as its health benefits. Another great initiative by the keen group of Ottawa HEA members to help those in need. The ladies made 219 hats in less than 4 hours! This year, the children’s hats will go to the Snowsuit Fund, and all the adult hats will go to Centre 507, an adult drop-in centre at Centretown United Church. The crew: Betty Young, Sue Thorne, Lorna Boyko, Ellie Topp, Judy Leeson, Gail Nevraumont, Carol Badenoch, Linda Robbins, Ellen Boynton, Linda Reasbeck, Mary Johnston, Maxine Robertson, Kim Zidychouski, Anne-Marie Ellis, Audrey Schreyer, and Liz Pearson. September is the time of year when the skills and talents of many Ottawa Home Economics Association members’ are put to great use volunteering for the students at Algonquin College. Tuesday, September 5 (Orientation Day) marked the start of the Fall 2017 intake of new Algonquin College Culinary and Baking Students, and the 5th Pant-a-Thon held at the school. OHEA & Ottawa HEA members who contributed to make this event a success include: Linda Robbins, Lynn Stewart, Mary Johnston, Ellen Boynton, Ellie Topp, Linda Reasbeck, Anne-Marie Ellis, Cathy Enright, Betty Young, Audrey Schryer, and Gisele Aucoin (former member).

Original post here: www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/programs/call-for-info-sodium-reduction-foodservices-sector.html Current status: Open You're invited to provide feedback on sodium reduction in the foodservices sector. All the reasons why you should become a student member of OHEA, from OHEA’s Digital Marketing Coordinator, Tamara Saslove! I am a graduate of the nutrition program at Ryerson, a Professional Home Economist, and Chef. During my time at Ryerson I was not exposed to the profession of Home Economics at all. Like a lot of first and second year students reading this, I was not aware that the profession was thriving and that you could register as a Professional Home Economist in Ontario. Not until the fourth and final year of my undergraduate degree did I learn about Home Ec and what it’s all about. I want to save you all the time I lost my first three years, and share with you my story and why I think YOU should become a student member, and how it can benefit you!
