Health Unit launches You’re the Chef pilot program

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is bringing life skills into the classroom. A new pilot program, called You’re the Chef, launched today. The trial run took place at Holy Cross Catholic School in Kemptville.

Nurse Kathryn Allwright says students will learn and practice cooking skills, kitchen safety and how to include more fruits and vegetables in snacks and meals.  

The kids learned how to properly wash their hands before preparing hummus and bean dip from scratch.

Allwright says the Health Unit is hoping to expand the program into all schools in its district. She says school staff will be offered support to implement the program in their own classrooms.
