74.17EM Emergency Resolution: Nutrition Canada
Whereas, ‘NUTRITION CANADA’, a national survey undertaken for the Federal Department of Health and Welfare, released in November 1973, has documented several basic findings relating to the state of Canadian health, i.e.
- General lack of public awareness, interest, and knowledge concerning nutrition and physical fitness;
- A widespread lack of communication and coordination among persons and agencies engaged in the study and delivery of Health Education and Service; and,
- The right of every person to be well-nourished; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the National Council of Women commend the priorities of the Survey to all local and Provincial Councils of Women and ask that they instigate studies so they may give assistance in any appropriate way to implement the recommendations and report to the National Council of Women; and further be it
RESOLVED, That the National Council of Women commend the Government of Canada on the priorities of the survey and pledge their support by making further recommendations regarding implementation when reports are forthcoming from Local Councils across Canada.
