Alberta Health Services Public Health Dietitians is happy to share that Nutrition Lessons for English Language Learners are now available!

These lesson plans were initially developed by Ottawa Public Health and ESL/LINC Educators from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board; they have been adapted and updated by our dietitian team.
