FoodSafe UPDATE Sept 23:
Reminder that for lunch programs and PAC fundraising where food is involved, at least one on-site parent is required to have FoodSafe certification. FoodSafe Grants Available from NVPAC - please email info@northvanpac.org for full details.

VICTORIA - The Province has launched a new self-guided online course on how to safely handle and prepare food so you can reduce the risk of food-borne illnesses caused by contamination, announced Ida Chong, Minister of Healthy Living and Sport. The web-based, interactive course will benefit people who prepare food in work, community and home environments, where it is not always necessary for them to hold a food training certificate. It's available in multiple languages at http://www.foodsafety.gov.bc.ca/, as well as on DVD. A short video about the course led by Kendall is available at http://www.hls.gov.bc.ca/protect/ehp_foodsafetydemo.html.
Ed. Note: This program does not replace FoodSafe certification, which is still required for at least one parent at each food related event.
